FAQs for Buckminster
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Why repair rather than replace?
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. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why book with us
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- A year’s guarantee on all work
