Bath repair in Tilstone Fearnall

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tilstone Fearnall as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

About our bath repair in Tilstone Fearnall

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Common call-outs are for rusty patches near the plughole and scuffs and scratches in the surface, in whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel.

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 are called out for in Tilstone Fearnall

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, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Questions to ask before booking

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who will actually do the work
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

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

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

What affects the price in Tilstone Fearnall

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Tilstone Fearnall. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you’re in Tilstone Fearnall and want a price, 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.

Tilstone Fearnall: your questions answered

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Is a bath repair durable?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Repair or replace: which is better?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Normally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
