For landlords and businesses

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

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hayes as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Bath repair in Hayes without replacing anything

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are rust spots around the plughole and a chip where the taps sit.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Questions from Hayes

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it messy?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Hayes

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

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

What we are called out for in Hayes

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

People usually call us after spotting one of these:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Chips under the taps
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What preparation is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BR4 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
