FAQs for Seaford

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do the materials smell?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is a bath repair durable?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Bath repair in Seaford without replacing anything

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. Common call-outs are for rusty patches near the plughole and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Seaford

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Seaford use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

For anyone letting property in or around Seaford, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

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

What we work on

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

What we’re called out for in Seaford

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Before booking anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Take a look at our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
