Bath repair for Linslade homes

How we handle bath repair in Linslade

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you are dealing with scuffs and scratches in the surface and snagging damage from a refit, we can help, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common questions in Linslade

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

How long before I can use the bath?

Generally the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Do you need bath repair in Linslade?

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips on the rim or sides

Before you book anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • What prep work is covered
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LU7 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Repair or replace in Linslade?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • No extra charge for your area

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A steel bath rusted through

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
