Bath repair near Carlton Miniott

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed 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 generally cheaper.

How we handle bath repair in Carlton Miniott

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can normally use the bath the day after. If you are dealing with hairline or through cracks in acrylic and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Carlton Miniott

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

FAQs for Carlton Miniott

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

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

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

How soon can you come?

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
