Common questions in Wymeswold

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is my repair covered?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you work in Wymeswold?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Wymeswold and the rest of Leicestershire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you cover the entire of Leicestershire?

The entire UK, including all of Leicestershire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Is a bath repair permanent?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.

Bath repair in Wymeswold, done in place

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the day after. Whether it’s deep scratches in acrylic and a chip where the taps sit, we can help.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Wymeswold as everywhere else we work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Generally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wymeswold use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

How we price bath repair

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in Wymeswold, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Do you need bath repair in Wymeswold?

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
