Bath repair in East Anstey, done in place

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about scratches you can feel with a fingernail and impact holes in acrylic.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlord and trade work in East Anstey

For anyone letting property in or around East Anstey, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Common problems we fix in East Anstey

A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until it cracks.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

Before booking anyone

  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for East Anstey. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most clients in East Anstey get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Why repair rather than replace?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Fixed prices from your photos

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

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

What we work on

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

East Anstey: your questions answered

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Usually the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
