Bath repair in Cotebrook

Bath repair in Cotebrook without replacing anything

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. If you’re dealing with a chip where the taps sit and a cracked acrylic bath, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  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. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Cotebrook. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Cotebrook, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Same prices wherever you are

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

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