Bath repair in Brent Pelham

Landlord and trade work in Brent Pelham

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Bath repair in Brent Pelham, done in place

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are damage beneath the taps and rusty patches near the plughole.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

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 early repair keeps the cost down.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Brent Pelham. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Brent Pelham

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

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

What we’re called out for in Brent Pelham

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Chips under the taps
  • A cracked acrylic bath

  • How soon you can use it again

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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.

Common questions in Brent Pelham

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How long does the repair take to cure?

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