Landlord and trade work in Hampton Poyle

For anyone letting property in or around Hampton Poyle, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A fixed quote before you book

When to call us in Hampton Poyle

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Hampton Poyle

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

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

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole bath

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Hampton Poyle

Questions from Hampton Poyle

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is a bath repair durable?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Hampton Poyle.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t 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.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

How to care for the repair

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

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
