What affects the price in Workhouse End

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most customers in Workhouse End get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Workhouse End

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

Common problems we fix in Workhouse End

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Chips under the taps
  • A chipped rim or side

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Aftercare advice
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
