Work for landlords and builders

How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Do you need bath repair in Bothamsall?
A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until it cracks.

- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A kit repair that didn’t last

What your quote should include
- How to look after the finish
- Who turns up on the day

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
