About our bath repair in Bells Yew Green

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s deep scratches in acrylic and a cracked acrylic bath, we can generally put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Bells Yew Green: your questions answered

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Can you redo an old repair?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Are there extra charges for Bells Yew Green?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Bells Yew Green. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Bells Yew Green, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bells Yew Green

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bells Yew Green use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

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.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
