What affects the price in Hadleigh

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What we’re called out for in Hadleigh

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Damage beneath the taps

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hadleigh

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.

How to prepare

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

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
