Bath repair in Bayton

Bath repair in Bayton, done in place

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Whether it’s an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and rust by the waste and overflow, we can generally put it right, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel alike.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Shropshire.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

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 without abrasive products.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bayton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in Bayton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What affects the price in Bayton

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For a price in Bayton, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Your questions about bath repair in Bayton

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you work in Bayton?

We do. We send a technician to Bayton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DY14 postcode.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
