Your questions about bath repair in Cobridge

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Are there extra charges for Cobridge?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

How long before I can use the bath?

Typically the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cobridge

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

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Do you need bath repair in Cobridge?

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

The things clients generally mention when they call include:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Chips caused by builders

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

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 generally cheaper.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

What affects the price in Cobridge

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
