How the visit works

When to call us in Matterdale End

Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Holes from dropped items
- A cracked acrylic bath

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Materials we work on in Matterdale End
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Questions from Matterdale End
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you cover Matterdale End?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Matterdale End. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
