Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Caynham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most clients in Caynham get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

For anyone letting property in or around Caynham, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Your questions about bath repair in Caynham

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Is a bath repair durable?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Are you accredited?

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

Will the repair show?

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.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel

Common problems we fix in Caynham

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Impact holes in acrylic

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
