Landlords, agents and businesses in Priestcliffe
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Bath repair in Priestcliffe, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a cracked acrylic bath, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Repairing versus replacing in Priestcliffe
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Priestcliffe
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips caused by builders
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How soon you can use it again
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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 the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Have new chips seen to early
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
