Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Westham as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Repair or replace in Westham?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What happens on the day

There’s 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 morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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 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.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Common questions in Westham

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you work in Westham?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Westham and the rest of East Sussex. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Westham
