Bath repair in Arreton

Bath repair in Arreton, done in place

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. If you’re dealing with damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and rust spots around the plughole, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, 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 is what we repair.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Arreton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should you replace it?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: 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. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What a repair cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. 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.

Common problems we fix in Arreton

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Snagging damage from a refit

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before you book

Arreton questions

How invisible is a bath repair?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How much does bath repair cost in Arreton?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Arreton. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole bath

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Arreton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
