Bath repair for Browick homes

When to call us in Browick

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who turns up on the day

Bath repair in Browick, done in place

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a chip where the taps sit and snagging damage from a refit.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Questions from Browick

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you work in Browick?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Browick. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  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 day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Have new chips seen to early

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. 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 Browick

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
