Bath repair for Bullbridge homes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bullbridge

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bullbridge as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Bath repair in Bullbridge, done in place

We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chips under the taps and a cracked acrylic bath.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Bullbridge questions

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour-matched on site
  • No extra charge for your area

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire bath

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

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