10 questions to ask before you book

What affects the price in Darlaston

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common questions in Darlaston

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

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

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your WS10 postcode.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do I have to be there?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Darlaston, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Darlaston use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  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. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Should you replace it?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Darlaston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
