Repairing versus replacing in Bexwell

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Typically it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Bexwell customers choose us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Bath repair in Bexwell without replacing anything

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, across roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

Signs you need bath repair in Bexwell

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Damage beneath the taps

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Common questions in Bexwell

Are there extra charges for Bexwell?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there a guarantee?

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

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is a bath repair permanent?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

The process

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

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
