What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

About our bath repair in Bramfield

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are chips caused by builders and chips on the rim or sides.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

Do you need bath repair in Bramfield?

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Your questions about bath repair in Bramfield

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do you cover Bramfield?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Bramfield. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will I be able to see the repair?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Should you replace it?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Landlord and trade work in Bramfield

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
