What we’re called out for in Ednaston

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

Questions to ask before booking

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

Bath repair in Ednaston 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 and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the day after. We’re often asked to fix a cracked acrylic bath and a hole punched through by something heavy, in acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Work for landlords and builders

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

For anyone letting property in or around Ednaston, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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. 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Most clients in Ednaston get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

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

Materials we repair

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

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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 affects the price in Ednaston

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

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

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Common questions in Ednaston

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you work in Ednaston?

We do. We send a technician to Ednaston for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

How long before I can use the bath?

Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
