DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Bath repair at your home in Allington

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Common call-outs are for an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and deep scratches in acrylic, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Allington, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

When to call us in Allington

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Snagging damage from a refit

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Who will actually do the work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Allington use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Allington questions

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you come to Allington?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Allington from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
