About our bath repair in Byeastwood

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips caused by builders, we can help.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Questions from Byeastwood

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Signs you need bath repair in Byeastwood

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 enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Chips under the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  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. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
