How we handle bath repair in Austendike

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are impact holes in acrylic and damage beneath the taps.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace in Austendike?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One visit for most repairs

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Acrylic

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

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • 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.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Austendike

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Austendike as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When to call us in Austendike

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How your room will be protected
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
