Bath repair for East Farndon homes

Bath repair in East Farndon, done in place

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can normally bathe again the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about a kit repair that didn’t last and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

East Farndon questions

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is a bath repair durable?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Do you work in East Farndon?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to East Farndon from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for East Farndon. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • No need to remove anything
