Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gunthorpe use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Gunthorpe questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do you come to Gunthorpe?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Gunthorpe. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you need bath repair in Gunthorpe?
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How to care for the finish
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How the room is protected while they work
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
What affects the price in Gunthorpe
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Repairing versus replacing in Gunthorpe
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What else we do in Gunthorpe
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, 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. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
