For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Almeley as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Almeley questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are there extra charges for Almeley?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Herefordshire.

Is a bath repair durable?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

What we are called out for in Almeley

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • A cracked acrylic bath

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • If travel is included in the price
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Repair or replace in Almeley?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Almeley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Almeley, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Almeley. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
