Lutley questions

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Dudley. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

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.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you work in Lutley?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Lutley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How to care for the repair

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

  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Repairing versus replacing in Lutley

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 nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Same prices wherever you are

Landlord and trade work in Lutley

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Do you need bath repair in Lutley?

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips under the taps
  • Holes from dropped items
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
