Landlord and trade work in Bedmond
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
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.
Bath repair in Bedmond, done in place
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can usually bathe again the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a chipped rim or side.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
FAQs for Bedmond
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Repairing versus replacing in Bedmond
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
