Questions from Coton

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Coton?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Do you cover the entire of Staffordshire?

Across the UK, and that includes Coton. Our prices are the same everywhere.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How we handle bath repair in Coton

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a chipped rim or side and holes from dropped items.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  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, normally the next day.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Coton

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What affects the price in Coton

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • The type of damage

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Coton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.

Common problems we fix in Coton

Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Impact holes in acrylic

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Coton

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Coton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
