DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Clifton upon Dunsmore

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

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

FAQs for Clifton upon Dunsmore

Do you cover Clifton upon Dunsmore?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Clifton upon Dunsmore. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Warwickshire.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Most jobs done in one visit

What we are called out for in Clifton upon Dunsmore

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Damage beneath the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
