Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Bath repair in Nalderswood, done in place

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, usually in a single visit. Typical jobs include a cracked acrylic bath and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Nalderswood and across Surrey.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A steel bath rusted through

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

Nalderswood questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

What areas do you cover?

All of Surrey, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What affects the price in Nalderswood

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Most customers in Nalderswood get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

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

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Do you need bath repair in Nalderswood?

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A cracked acrylic bath

Comparing quotes

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the room is protected while they work
