Bath repair in Chineham, done in place

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We are often asked to fix rusty patches near the plughole and a chip where the taps sit, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chineham use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

What we’re called out for in Chineham

Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A chipped rim or side
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairing versus replacing in Chineham

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Chineham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • No need to remove anything

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

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