Bath repair for Elsthorpe homes

Bath repair at your home in Elsthorpe

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or sides and scuffs and scratches in the surface.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  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. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Related advice

Common questions in Elsthorpe

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

What happens after I send photos?

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

Are there extra charges for Elsthorpe?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

The things clients generally mention when they call include:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A chipped rim or side

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Elsthorpe, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Elsthorpe use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
