Trusted bath repair in Fairlee

Bath repair in Fairlee without replacing anything

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for impact holes in acrylic and a chip where the taps sit, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  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. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Aftercare tips

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

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Should you replace it?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fairlee

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Isle of Wight and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
