Bath repair for Broad Chalke homes

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

Bath repair in Broad Chalke without replacing anything

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the following day. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are damage beneath the taps and deep scratches in acrylic.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Broad Chalke

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

What affects the price in Broad Chalke

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
