How we handle bath repair in Annesley Woodhouse

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in a single visit. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are chips along the edge of the bath and chips under the taps.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

What we are called out for in Annesley Woodhouse

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Our hiring checklist

What your bath is made of matters

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 is the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Should you replace it?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

If you manage property in Annesley Woodhouse, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

FAQs for Annesley Woodhouse

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Is a bath repair permanent?

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

How invisible is a bath repair?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Annesley Woodhouse.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

How long does the repair take to cure?

Usually the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Store metal items away from the bath

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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