Bath repair near Egloskerry

Bath repair at your home in Egloskerry

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Typical jobs include chips caused by builders and chips along the edge of the bath, across acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Egloskerry

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Egloskerry use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

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

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

Signs you need bath repair in Egloskerry

A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Before booking anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

What affects the price in Egloskerry

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Egloskerry. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Should you replace it?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Everything repaired in place

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  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, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can
