For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What affects the price in Arkwright Town

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Arkwright Town. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Your questions about bath repair in Arkwright Town

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you cover Arkwright Town?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Arkwright Town. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel

Common problems we fix in Arkwright Town

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Look out for these signs:

  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
