Questions from Springfield

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is a bath repair permanent?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How long before I can use the bath?

Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

Do you come to Springfield?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Springfield from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Fife. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, 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, normally the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Repair or replace in Springfield?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

What we’re called out for in Springfield

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

The things customers usually mention when they call are:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Comparing quotes

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How your room will be protected
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlord and trade work in Springfield

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What affects the price in Springfield

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Springfield. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

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