Landlord and trade work in Cronberry

If you manage property in Cronberry, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

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

What we work on

  • Roll-top & freestanding

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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

When to call us in Cronberry

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A chip where the taps sit

Comparing quotes

  • How the colour is matched
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

FAQs for Cronberry

Can I add another job to the visit?

Will the repair show?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

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

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your KA18 postcode.

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
