Bath repair in Cheveley without replacing anything

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about deep scratches in acrylic and chips on the rim or sides.

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

Signs you need bath repair in Cheveley

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Impact holes in acrylic

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Cheveley

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

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cheveley

For anyone letting property in or around Cheveley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

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 over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

FAQs for Cheveley

Are there extra charges for Cheveley?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Usually the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do the materials smell?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

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

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
