Landlord and trade work in Trowbridge

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Trowbridge use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Questions from Trowbridge

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What areas do you cover?

All of Wiltshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Are there extra charges for Trowbridge?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we are called out for in Trowbridge

A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Choosing a repair company

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
