DIY kit or professional repair?

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

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 usually the cheaper route.

Questions from Clayton West

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you cover Clayton West?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Clayton West for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What affects the price in Clayton West

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Clayton West. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Landlord and trade work in Clayton West

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

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