Landlord and trade work in Bolton-on-Swale

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Bolton-on-Swale, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Store metal items away from the bath

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Do you need bath repair in Bolton-on-Swale?

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Chips under the taps
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos 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. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Questions from Bolton-on-Swale

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Generally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

What affects the price in Bolton-on-Swale

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Bolton-on-Swale. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Can I fix it myself?

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

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
