Bath repair near Croxton

How we handle bath repair in Croxton

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are chips under the taps and chips along the edge of the bath.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  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 day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Common questions in Croxton

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Will the repair show?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you come to Croxton?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Croxton and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Same prices wherever you are

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

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.
