  • Rust by the waste and overflow

About our bath repair in Farndon

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the day after. We regularly repair acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and rusty patches near the plughole.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a fitted bath generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. 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. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Your questions about bath repair in Farndon

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you work in Farndon?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Farndon. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are there extra charges for Farndon?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

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

Will the repair last?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Farndon as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Farndon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

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.
