Questions from Horsebridge

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will the repair last?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Landlord and trade work in Horsebridge

For anyone letting property in or around Horsebridge, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Horsebridge

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

When to call us in Horsebridge

Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

The things customers normally mention when they call include:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Impact holes in acrylic

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How the visit 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 how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
