Questions from Padanaram

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding

Repair or replace: which is better?

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Landlord and trade work in Padanaram

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
