What we’re called out for in Tarbrax

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Composite and resin

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

FAQs for Tarbrax

Can tenants book a repair?

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size

If you are in Tarbrax and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Tarbrax

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. 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.

Why Tarbrax customers choose us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in Tarbrax

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tarbrax as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
