Bath repair in Dickleburgh Moor

Bath repair at your home in Dickleburgh Moor

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Whether it’s scuffs and scratches in the surface and rusty patches near the plughole, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

Common problems we fix in Dickleburgh Moor

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Your questions about bath repair in Dickleburgh Moor

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Do you come to Dickleburgh Moor?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Dickleburgh Moor for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you redo an old repair?

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

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, 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, 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, normally the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice

What your bath is made of matters

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 what we repair.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
