Landlords, agents and businesses in Norman Cross

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common questions in Norman Cross

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Is it messy?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Norman Cross is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Will the repair last?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Norman Cross. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Norman Cross. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

We don’t add 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.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

What a repair cannot fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Common problems we fix in Norman Cross

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A chip where the taps sit

Our hiring checklist

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access
