Bath repair in Pollhill

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Bath repair in Pollhill, done in place

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s rust spots around the plughole and holes from dropped items, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Pollhill as everywhere else we work.

Repairing versus replacing in Pollhill

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

FAQs for Pollhill

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

When can I have a bath again?

Most baths can be used the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How invisible is a bath repair?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pollhill

If you manage property in Pollhill, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Signs you need bath repair in Pollhill

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Damage beneath the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  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. Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
