Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

What we’re called out for in Brigg

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long it needs to cure
  • If travel is included in the price

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most clients in Brigg get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How it works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Your questions about bath repair in Brigg

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Will the repair show?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
