Bath repair near Drayton

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Bath repair at your home in Drayton

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Typical jobs include a chip where the taps sit and a hole punched through by something heavy, across cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

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.

Your questions about bath repair in Drayton

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.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Generally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How much does bath repair cost in Drayton?

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

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Should you replace it?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Normally it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts 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. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the whole UK

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Drayton

What affects the price in Drayton

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

If you are in Drayton and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
