Landlord and trade work in Hankelow
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Hankelow. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Hankelow. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For a price in Hankelow, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
