What we are called out for in Tuxford

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Chips under the taps
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tuxford

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material

For a price in Tuxford, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
