Pridden: your questions answered

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace in Pridden?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Pridden. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

When to call us in Pridden

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A chip where the taps sit

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Pridden

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What bath repair costs

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire bath

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Pridden, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
