For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Bath repair in Stowting Common, done in place

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Our technicians work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are impact holes in acrylic and a chipped rim or side.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we’re called out for in Stowting Common

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Chips under the taps
  • Chips on the rim or sides

Choosing a repair company

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Repair or replace in Stowting Common?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

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

What affects the price in Stowting Common

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TN25 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
