DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What else we do in Waldley
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Waldley. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Landlord and trade work in Waldley
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Waldley: your questions answered
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Are there extra charges for Waldley?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
