Bath repair for Esholt homes

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

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

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

About our bath repair in Esholt

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. Common call-outs are for deep scratches in acrylic and rusty patches near the plughole, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Esholt and across Bradford.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A steel bath rusted through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. 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. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • No extra charge for your area

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Esholt. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

Esholt: your questions answered

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Esholt.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Esholt. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Esholt, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Signs you need bath repair in Esholt

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Holes from dropped items

Before you book anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
