For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lower Assendon as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How we handle bath repair in Lower Assendon

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, generally in a single visit. Common call-outs are for chips along the edge of the bath and snagging damage from a refit, across roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work 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.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What we are called out for in Lower Assendon

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Snagging damage from a refit

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Your questions about bath repair in Lower Assendon

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Are there extra charges for Lower Assendon?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Lower Assendon?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your RG9 postcode.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

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

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Repair or replace in Lower Assendon?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
