Bath repair in Awbridge

Common problems we fix in Awbridge

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • A chipped rim or side

10 questions to ask before you book

Bath repair in Awbridge, done in place

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We are frequently asked to fix a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, in pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

FAQs for Awbridge

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

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.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Should you replace it?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A steel bath rusted through

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

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Awbridge. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

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

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, 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. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
