Landlords, agents and businesses in Chilswell

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Signs you need bath repair in Chilswell

Common reasons people in Chilswell contact us are:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A chipped rim or side

How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Questions from Chilswell

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

What do you need from me?

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

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Oxfordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What affects the price in Chilswell

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Chilswell. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

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

Materials we repair

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

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
