Landlord and trade work in Brading

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Isle of Wight and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

Most clients in Brading get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we’re called out for in Brading

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before you book

Should you replace it?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Read our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Your questions about bath repair in Brading

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Do you work in Brading?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Brading. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

How much does bath repair cost in Brading?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
