Bath repair in Drybrook

Bath repair in Drybrook without replacing anything

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can normally use the bath the following day. Typical jobs include a kit repair that didn’t last and chips on the rim or sides, across roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Your questions about bath repair in Drybrook

Do you come to Drybrook?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Drybrook. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Frequently, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Drybrook.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What affects the price in Drybrook

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Repair or replace in Drybrook?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  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. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Landlords, agents and businesses in Drybrook

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Drybrook use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

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 the part we put right.

Do you need bath repair in Drybrook?

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Chips under the taps

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
