Need bath repair in Burstallhill?

Landlord and trade work in Burstallhill

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. 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. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Bath repair in Burstallhill without replacing anything

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about a kit repair that didn’t last and chips on the rim or sides.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Burstallhill: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What does bath repair cost?

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

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you work in Burstallhill?

We do. Technicians travel to Burstallhill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Repair or replace in Burstallhill?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: 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. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour-matched on site

What affects the price in Burstallhill

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Burstallhill. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Burstallhill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

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 price the job the same day in most cases.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

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

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.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
