Bath repair in Burn

How we handle bath repair in Burn

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and rust by the waste and overflow.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

Should you replace it?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Work done at your home or business

Common questions in Burn

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you come to Burn?

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

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally within a day, depending on the repair.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • 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.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Advice

Signs you need bath repair in Burn

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A chip where the taps sit

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How we price bath repair

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Cast iron

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