DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Beighton questions

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

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.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Beighton. Prices do not change with location.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

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

Work for landlords and builders

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

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

When to call us in Beighton

Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Chips under the taps
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  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 next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NR13 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Acrylic

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

Repair or replace in Beighton?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Beighton. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
