Landlord and trade work in Callow
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Callow, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Callow: your questions answered
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

Repair or replace in Callow?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Callow. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What your bath is made of matters
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 what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Common problems we fix in Callow
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Look out for any of the following:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Impact holes in acrylic
Before you book anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who will actually do the work
- How changes to the job are handled
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
