Landlords, agents and businesses in Eaton

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Eaton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Eaton: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Do you cover the whole of Herefordshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Eaton included. Travel is included in the price.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Generally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Common problems we fix in Eaton

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

Comparing quotes

  • How the colour is matched
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. 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 early repair saves time and money.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Composite and resin

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • The type of damage

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
