Need bath repair in Chedburgh?

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Bath repair in Chedburgh, done in place

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you are dealing with rust by the waste and overflow and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can help, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

When to call us in Chedburgh

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Chips under the taps
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price covers travel

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Chedburgh

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Chedburgh: your questions answered

Will the repair show?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can landlords book you?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A steel bath rusted through

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
