Trusted bath repair in Bawdeswell

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Bath repair in Bawdeswell without replacing anything

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you are dealing with scratches you can feel with a fingernail and rust spots around the plughole, we can generally put it right, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Questions from Bawdeswell

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is my repair covered?

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

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always 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.

Do you need bath repair in Bawdeswell?

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A chipped rim or side
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bawdeswell. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price
