Bath repair at your home in Danbury

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in a single visit. Whether it’s rust by the waste and overflow and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Danbury

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

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.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

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

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Questions from Danbury

How long does the repair take to cure?

Usually the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

When to call us in Danbury

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

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

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

What to look for in a quote

  • How to care for the finish
  • When it can be used again
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Composite and resin

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

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  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 next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
