Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Bovingdon. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bovingdon
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
