Bath damage between tenancies: a guide for landlords

Quick repairs that get a property back on the market without a bathroom refit.

Common end-of-tenancy problems

  • Chips and rust in steel baths
  • Cracked or holed acrylic baths
  • Stained, dull shower trays
  • Black, peeling sealant
  • Chipped basins and worktops

Why repair beats replace in rentals

A repair or resurface is usually done in a day, with no plumber, tiler or skip, so the void period stays short. It also keeps an otherwise sound bath out of landfill.

Fair wear and tear or damage?

Whether a cost can be claimed from a deposit depends on the tenancy, the check-in and check-out reports, and the deposit scheme’s rules. Photos dated at check-in and check-out help. This isn’t legal advice; your deposit scheme or a letting agent can advise on a dispute.

If you need it, we can describe the damage and the work done on your invoice.
