Bath repair near Magpie Green

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Magpie Green. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Magpie Green, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Typically within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Does someone need to be in?

Is a bath repair durable?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
