What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

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

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  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 following day.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Common problems we fix in Chale Green

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A chip where the taps sit

Before booking anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Chale Green. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Chale Green. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chale Green

If you manage property in Chale Green, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
