Questions from Cowbit

Do you work in Cowbit?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Cowbit for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Which areas do you work in?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How long before I can use the bath?

Generally the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Repair or replace in Cowbit?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

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

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, so it’s always worth repairing.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Cowbit. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Common problems we fix in Cowbit

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Holes from dropped items
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How to look after the finish
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cowbit

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

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

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PE12 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
