About our bath repair in Benniworth

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, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. If you are dealing with scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips on the rim or sides, we can normally put it right.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

Aftercare tips

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

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

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

Materials we repair

Landlords, agents and businesses in Benniworth

If you manage property in Benniworth, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Common questions in Benniworth

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

When to call us in Benniworth

A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.

Look out for these signs:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Snagging damage from a refit

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the room is protected while they work
