Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Toppesfield, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Toppesfield as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What affects the price in Toppesfield

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Toppesfield. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Toppesfield. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Toppesfield: your questions answered

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Do you work in Toppesfield?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Toppesfield for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a fitted bath generally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. 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. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour-matched on site

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
