Book bath repair in Biddestone

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Bath repair in Biddestone without replacing anything

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Typical jobs include snagging damage from a refit and scuffs and scratches in the surface, across acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Biddestone. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

What we’re called out for in Biddestone

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Biddestone as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Should you replace it?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Why Biddestone customers choose us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour-matched on site
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

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

What we work on

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

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