FAQs for Selling

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Selling.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Selling?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your ME13 postcode.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Selling

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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.

Do you need bath repair in Selling?

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips under the taps
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

Questions to ask before booking

  • How to look after the finish
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Selling

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Selling. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Selling clients choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

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

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Related advice

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • 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 booking.
