Jenkins' Green: your questions answered
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Jenkins' Green.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Jenkins' Green
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
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.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. 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 clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Jenkins' Green
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

- A kit repair that didn’t last
