Questions from Great Canfield

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Do I have to be there?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

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

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

What areas do you cover?

All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

How we handle bath repair in Great Canfield

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and rusty patches near the plughole, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Canfield

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Great Canfield. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Great Canfield, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should you replace it?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Great Canfield. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it

Common problems we fix in Great Canfield

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • A chipped rim or side
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

Before booking anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
