What we can’t put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What affects the price in Broadstone

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

Most clients in Broadstone get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Broadstone

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Common questions in Broadstone

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Broadstone.

Do you work in Broadstone?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Broadstone and the rest of Kent. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your ME17 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

What we are called out for in Broadstone

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Damage beneath the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
