Bath repair near East Claydon

East Claydon: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Usually. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Do you come to East Claydon?

We do. Technicians travel to East Claydon from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

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

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

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

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.

Bath repair in East Claydon without replacing anything

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. Common call-outs are for a kit repair that didn’t last and rusty patches near the plughole, across pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

What your bath is made of matters

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 is the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  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. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Do you need bath repair in East Claydon?

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Chips on the rim or sides

10 questions to ask before you book

What affects the price in East Claydon

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
