Bath repair near Brough

Bath repair at your home in Brough

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips under the taps.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Brough: your questions answered

Is a bath repair permanent?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

How long before I can use the bath?

Usually the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

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

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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 bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Repairing versus replacing in Brough

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No extra charge for your area

Do you need bath repair in Brough?

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Damage beneath the taps

Before you book anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
