DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Your questions about bath repair in Binsted

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you repair coloured baths?

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

Is a bath repair permanent?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Binsted?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

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

Repairing versus replacing in Binsted

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

What bath repair costs

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Binsted. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your GU34 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Signs you need bath repair in Binsted

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Rust spots around the plughole

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What preparation is included
  • How to care for the finish
