For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Westhall as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice

Should you replace it?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

FAQs for Westhall

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

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 the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Signs you need bath repair in Westhall

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

The things clients normally mention when they call include:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price covers travel

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
