Drayton: your questions answered

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Will the repair last?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  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 mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What we are called out for in Drayton

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Snagging damage from a refit

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Drayton. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are
