About our bath repair in Banningham

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: 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. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are rusty patches near the plughole and impact holes in acrylic.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common questions in Banningham

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Will you leave a mess?

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

When can I have a bath again?

Usually within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Is a bath repair durable?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

Do you come to Banningham?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Banningham. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Why repair rather than replace?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Banningham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Banningham

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

When to call us in Banningham

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until it cracks.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Chips under the taps
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Chips caused by builders

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NR11 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
