Bath repair for Burton Salmon homes

About our bath repair in Burton Salmon

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the day after. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are chips caused by builders and chips under the taps.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Burton Salmon. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it

Your questions about bath repair in Burton Salmon

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

When can I have a bath again?

Generally the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

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

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Burton Salmon, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. 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’s what we repair.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

What we’re called out for in Burton Salmon

Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Holes from dropped items

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What prep work is covered

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
