Avebury questions

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Avebury

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Do you need bath repair in Avebury?

Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Holes from dropped items
  • A chip where the taps sit

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How to care for the finish

How to compare quotes

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
