Trusted bath repair in Beech Hill

Bath repair in Beech Hill without replacing anything

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We are frequently asked to fix scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips along the edge of the bath, across roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

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

What we work on

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

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Landlord and trade work in Beech Hill

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Beech Hill use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What affects the price in Beech Hill

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Beech Hill. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire bath

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Common problems we fix in Beech Hill

Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Chips on the rim or sides
