Bath repair near Ashmansworth

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow two to three hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ashmansworth

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Ashmansworth

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips under the taps
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Snagging damage from a refit

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Ashmansworth: your questions answered

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you work in Ashmansworth?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ashmansworth. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

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 pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
