Bath repair in Batchcott

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Bath repair in Batchcott, done in place

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you’re dealing with snagging damage from a refit and a cracked acrylic bath, we can normally put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.

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

Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

FAQs for Batchcott

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Repair or replace in Batchcott?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Signs you need bath repair in Batchcott

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A chip where the taps sit

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who turns up on the day
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Batchcott

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
