Common questions in Cowplain

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you come to Cowplain?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Cowplain from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Will I be able to see the repair?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

When can I have a bath again?

Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  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

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Take a look at our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Rinse it down after each bath

There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Cowplain. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Cowplain

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cowplain as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
