How we handle bath repair in Berrylands

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can usually bathe again the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are rust by the waste and overflow and deep scratches in acrylic.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

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.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back

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

Questions from Berrylands

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  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 following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Landlord and trade work in Berrylands

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Berrylands use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Signs you need bath repair in Berrylands

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
