Bath repair in Brougham

About our bath repair in Brougham

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about chips along the edge of the bath and rusty patches near the plughole.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Brougham and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

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

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Brougham, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Brougham questions

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Brougham?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

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.

Repairing versus replacing in Brougham

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
