Common problems we fix in Farnham Common

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Snagging damage from a refit

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

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.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Repairing versus replacing in Farnham Common

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No extra charge for your area

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Farnham Common. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire bath

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Farnham Common

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

How invisible is a bath repair?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
