Common problems we fix in Binsted

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

10 questions to ask before booking

Bath repair in Binsted without replacing anything

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. Typical jobs include a chip where the taps sit and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, across cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.

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

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Binsted

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Composite and resin

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

Binsted questions

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Binsted and the rest of West Sussex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Do you cover Binsted?

We do. Technicians travel to Binsted from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Binsted

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
