How we handle bath repair in Chilwell

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Whether it’s rust spots around the plughole and a cracked acrylic bath, we can usually put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Rinse it down after each bath

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

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

Chilwell questions

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

How long before I can use the bath?

Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Will I be able to see the repair?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you come to Chilwell?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Chilwell for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Repair or replace in Chilwell?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why Chilwell clients choose us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A fixed quote before booking

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When to call us in Chilwell

Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Chips caused by builders

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before booking

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Most customers in Chilwell get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
