Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.

  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. 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Do you need bath repair in Aldersbrook?

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Snagging damage from a refit

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Aldersbrook

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Aldersbrook. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Repair or replace in Aldersbrook?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • No need to remove anything

Take a look at our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
