About our bath repair in Blisland

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. If you’re dealing with a chip where the taps sit and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can help.

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

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Repair or replace in Blisland?

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 the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Your questions about bath repair in Blisland

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally within a day, depending on the repair.

Do you cover Blisland?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Blisland from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Blisland is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Blisland

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Blisland, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Do you need bath repair in Blisland?

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Snagging damage from a refit

Before you book anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Advice

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
