Bath repair near Bedlam

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bedlam as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

What affects the price in Bedlam

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bedlam. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most customers in Bedlam get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When to call us in Bedlam

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips under the taps

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Questions from Bedlam

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across North Yorkshire.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you come to Bedlam?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Bedlam. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

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.

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, which makes it well worth repairing.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

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.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
