Bath repair in Chelwood

Bath repair in Chelwood without replacing anything

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in a single visit. We work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and rust spots around the plughole.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Chelwood and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the area is dry

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Signs you need bath repair in Chelwood

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace in Chelwood?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

How we price bath repair

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Chelwood questions

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Generally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

What do you need from me?

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

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Chelwood is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How invisible is a bath repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
