Landlords, agents and businesses in Burrough End
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Bath repair in Burrough End without replacing anything
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Common call-outs are for damage beneath the taps and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Look out for these signs:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips under the taps
- A hole punched through by something heavy

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
