Landlords, agents and businesses in Penley
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Penley use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Penley questions
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
Signs you need bath repair in Penley
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Questions to ask before booking
- What prep work is covered
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How changes to the job are handled
- How to care for the finish
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
