Repair or replace in Burgh Heath?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.

Your questions about bath repair in Burgh Heath

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Will I be able to see the repair?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Do you cover Burgh Heath?

We do. Technicians travel to Burgh Heath from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you cover the entire of Surrey?

Everywhere in the UK, Burgh Heath included. Travel is included in the price.

How long before I can use the bath?

Generally within a day, depending on the repair.

Do I have to be there?

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

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures 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. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Signs you need bath repair in Burgh Heath

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What protection goes down before work starts
