Bath repair in Bushley

Bath repair in Bushley without replacing anything

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are holes from dropped items and chips on the rim or sides.

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

What bath repair costs

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

  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Landlord and trade work in Bushley

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bushley as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

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

Common problems we fix in Bushley

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Holes from dropped items

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Bushley questions

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Do you come to Bushley?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can landlords book you?

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