Bath repair for Amotherby homes

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

About our bath repair in Amotherby

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Typical jobs include hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a chip where the taps sit, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What affects the price in Amotherby

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Amotherby. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

When to call us in Amotherby

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Chips under the taps
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the colour is matched
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Amotherby questions

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will you leave a mess?

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