How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

Samlesbury questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you work in Samlesbury?

We do. We send a technician to Samlesbury for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

Landlord and trade work in Samlesbury

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.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What we’re called out for in Samlesbury

A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

10 questions to ask before you book

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What affects the price in Samlesbury

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PR5 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
