Common problems we fix in Bramford

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

Bath repair at your home in Bramford

We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are a chip where the taps sit and snagging damage from a refit.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

If you manage property in Bramford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll 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. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

FAQs for Bramford

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

How much does bath repair cost in Bramford?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can I fix it myself?

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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Bramford

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Bramford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour-matched on site

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
