What we’re called out for in Burston

You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
- A chipped rim or side

Bath repair at your home in Burston
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you’re dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and chips caused by builders, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Repair or replace in Burston?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Your questions about bath repair in Burston
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is there a guarantee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
