Bath repair in Bolnhurst

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

How we handle bath repair in Bolnhurst

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. If you’re dealing with damage beneath the taps and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bolnhurst

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A steel bath rusted through

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Bolnhurst questions

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Do you work in Bolnhurst?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Bolnhurst from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What affects the price in Bolnhurst

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bolnhurst. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
