When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

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

What we work on

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

About our bath repair in Badger Farm

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. If you are dealing with chips caused by builders and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long

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

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

Questions from Badger Farm

How much does bath repair cost in Badger Farm?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your SO22 postcode.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

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

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Badger Farm

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Signs you need bath repair in Badger Farm

Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  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, usually the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

If you are in Badger Farm and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
