Bath repair near Earlswood

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. 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 we handle bath repair in Earlswood

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are a cracked acrylic bath and a kit repair that didn’t last.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What we’re called out for in Earlswood

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Snagging damage from a refit

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Roll-top & freestanding

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Earlswood, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  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 normally use the bath the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Earlswood, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
