Repairing versus replacing in Alveley

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Usually it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Your questions about bath repair in Alveley

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Are there extra charges for Alveley?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you come to Alveley?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Common problems we fix in Alveley

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Composite and resin

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

The process

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
