Bath repair for Arford homes

Repairing versus replacing in Arford

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Bath repair at your home in Arford

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about damage beneath the taps and chips caused by builders.

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

Questions from Arford

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Arford included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you quote from photos?

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

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Have new chips seen to early

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Arford

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For anyone letting property in or around Arford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  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

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
