Bath repair in Crow End

Bath repair in Crow End, done in place

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about hairline or through cracks in acrylic and rust spots around the plughole.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Common questions in Crow End

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A steel bath rusted through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Crow End

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Everything repaired in place

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crow End as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we’re called out for in Crow End

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Chips under the taps
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Holes from dropped items

Comparing quotes

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
