What affects the price in Easter Pencaitland

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Bath repair in Easter Pencaitland without replacing anything

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. If you’re dealing with damage beneath the taps and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can help.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

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, then guarantee it for a year.

What we can’t put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

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

Materials we work on in Easter Pencaitland

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and 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. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

Easter Pencaitland questions

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

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

Is a bath repair durable?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Generally it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
