FAQs for Uffington

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

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.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you come to Uffington?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Uffington from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you quote from photos?

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

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  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. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

What we’re called out for in Uffington

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A chipped rim or side
  • A chip where the taps sit

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why Uffington customers choose us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No extra charge for your area
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Uffington

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

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

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

What affects the price in Uffington

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Uffington. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
