Landlord and trade work in Tylerscross
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tylerscross as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How we handle bath repair in Tylerscross
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can usually bathe again the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Whether it’s rust by the waste and overflow and damage beneath the taps, we can help, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
Tylerscross: your questions answered
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Tylerscross.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Tylerscross. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Tylerscross. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you do not 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.

What else we do in Tylerscross
When a repair isn’t the answer

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, 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 you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
