Bath repair at your home in Coswinsawsin

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you are dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and chips on the rim or sides, we can usually put it right, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Coswinsawsin and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Your questions about bath repair in Coswinsawsin

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Generally within a day, depending on the repair.

What affects the price in Coswinsawsin

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, 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.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Coswinsawsin, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Related advice

When to call us in Coswinsawsin

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Holes from dropped items

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

Repairs by material

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 the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
