Bath repair near Buerton

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  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 tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

About our bath repair in Buerton

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s a hole punched through by something heavy and rust by the waste and overflow, we can normally put it right, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. 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.

What we’re called out for in Buerton

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Damage beneath the taps

Before booking anyone

  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Buerton questions

When can I have a bath again?

Most baths can be used the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you cover Buerton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Buerton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Typically. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For anyone letting property in or around Buerton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Have new chips seen to early

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Buerton. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
