Landlords, agents and businesses in Kingston St Mary

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

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

About our bath repair in Kingston St Mary

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or sides and impact holes in acrylic, in cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  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. 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Do you need bath repair in Kingston St Mary?

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

The things clients normally mention when they call are:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Holes from dropped items
  • A chipped rim or side
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

How to compare quotes

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • The material, if you know it

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Should you replace it?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
