Bath repair in Blankney, done in place

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can help.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Blankney and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Blankney questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you come to Blankney?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Blankney for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Composite and resin

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

Do you need bath repair in Blankney?

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How to look after the finish

Our hiring checklist

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Have new chips seen to early

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

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The process

We turn 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. 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 apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Blankney. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
