Landlords, agents and businesses in Sigglesthorne

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Repairing versus replacing in Sigglesthorne

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Normally it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire bath

For a price in Sigglesthorne, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Questions from Sigglesthorne

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you cover Sigglesthorne?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Sigglesthorne for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • 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.
