Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

Bath repair in Enfield Island Village without replacing anything

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. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for a kit repair that didn’t last and deep scratches in acrylic, in roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Do you need bath repair in Enfield Island Village?

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Enfield Island Village questions

Is a bath repair durable?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you repair coloured baths?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

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.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Landlord and trade work in Enfield Island Village

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Enfield Island Village as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

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

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Enfield Island Village. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Enfield Island Village. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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.

Repairing versus replacing in Enfield Island Village

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
