Bath repair in Elloughton

Elloughton: your questions answered

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you work in Elloughton?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Elloughton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

About our bath repair in Elloughton

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Typical jobs include a cracked acrylic bath and holes from dropped items, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

When to call us in Elloughton

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

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

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Elloughton

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Repair or replace: which is better?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Elloughton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
