Common questions in Bissoe

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is a bath repair durable?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Bissoe is covered. Prices do not change with location.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Repair or replace in Bissoe?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How we price bath repair

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

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Bissoe, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

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

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For anyone letting property in or around Bissoe, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Bissoe

A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Chips under the taps
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

Before you book anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How changes to the job are handled
