Common questions in High Callerton

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

When can I have a bath again?

Most baths can be used the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t 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.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Signs you need bath repair in High Callerton

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Chips under the taps

Before you book anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How to care for the finish
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
