Bath repair in Chiddingstone Causeway

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Bath repair in Chiddingstone Causeway, done in place

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Whether it’s a chip where the taps sit and rust spots around the plughole, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Chiddingstone Causeway and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chiddingstone Causeway as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Chiddingstone Causeway questions

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

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

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

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.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Do you need bath repair in Chiddingstone Causeway?

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Holes from dropped items
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

Before you book anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

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 it pays to deal with it early.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  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 day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TN11 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
