Bath repair near Etton

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Bath repair at your home in Etton

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We are frequently asked to fix an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips under the taps, in cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  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. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Questions from Etton

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How much does bath repair cost in Etton?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your HU17 postcode.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Etton.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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

Signs you need bath repair in Etton

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

What affects the price in Etton

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Etton. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
