Bath repair in Burwash Weald

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Have new chips seen to early

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

How we handle bath repair in Burwash Weald

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Typical jobs include scratches you can feel with a fingernail and damage beneath the taps, across acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Burwash Weald as everywhere else we work.

Why repair rather than replace?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: 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. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Questions from Burwash Weald

How invisible is a bath repair?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

How much does bath repair cost in Burwash Weald?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  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, generally the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A chipped rim or side

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 typically cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
