Bath repair for Blakedown homes

Bath repair in Blakedown without replacing anything

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and chips along the edge of the bath.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • A fixed quote before booking

What affects the price in Blakedown

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

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’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

If you are in Blakedown and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we’re called out for in Blakedown

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Questions to ask before booking

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What prep work is covered
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Landlord and trade work in Blakedown

For anyone letting property in or around Blakedown, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Questions from Blakedown

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you redo an old repair?

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  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. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
