Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Thrussington

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

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 it pays to deal with it early.

Do you need bath repair in Thrussington?

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Chips under the taps
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Comparing quotes

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in Thrussington?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Landlord and trade work in Thrussington

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  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 day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
