Bath repair near Barnham

Should you replace it?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. 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’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Everything repaired in place

Bath repair at your home in Barnham

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. Whether it’s a kit repair that didn’t last and chips under the taps, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

What we are called out for in Barnham

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

Before you book anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before you book

What affects the price in Barnham

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

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

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

FAQs for Barnham

How do I get a price for bath repair in Barnham?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Will the repair show?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

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

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
