Bath repair in Bardon

About our bath repair in Bardon

Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. Common call-outs are for chips under the taps and a cracked acrylic bath, in pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.

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

What affects the price in Bardon

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Bardon. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Bardon questions

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Common problems we fix in Bardon

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A chip where the taps sit

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
