Bath repair near Farmoor

Bath repair at your home in Farmoor

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s a chipped rim or side and a chip where the taps sit, we can help, whatever the material.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Common questions in Farmoor

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Will the repair last?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Which areas do you work in?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should you replace it?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. 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 we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Farmoor use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

What we are called out for in Farmoor

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Chips caused by builders
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How to look after the finish
  • How your room will be protected
