Trusted bath repair in Alumwell

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Bath repair at your home in Alumwell

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you’re dealing with impact holes in acrylic and chips under the taps, we can normally put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

If you are in Alumwell and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Alumwell, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

FAQs for Alumwell

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will it make a mess?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Alumwell.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Related advice

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
