Landlord and trade work in Upper Minety

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SN16 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Upper Minety questions

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Do you cover Upper Minety?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Upper Minety and the rest of Wiltshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Signs you need bath repair in Upper Minety

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • A cracked acrylic bath

Questions to ask before booking

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  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, generally the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
