Bath repair at your home in Elrick

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. If you’re dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and chips caused by builders, we can help, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Do you need bath repair in Elrick?

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Rust spots around the plughole

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlords, agents and businesses in Elrick

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

If you manage property in Elrick, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Elrick

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Questions from Elrick

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
