Bath repair in Chesham

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Chesham

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

Bath repair in Chesham without replacing anything

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. Whether it’s scuffs and scratches in the surface and damage beneath the taps, we can generally put it right, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Rusty chip next to a bath plughole, before and after repair

Do you need bath repair in Chesham?

Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • A chipped rim or side

Choosing a repair company

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

Advice

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Common questions in Chesham

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What affects the price in Chesham

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price 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.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back

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 to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlord and trade work in Chesham

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

If you manage property in Chesham, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
