Aftercare tips

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

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. Typical jobs include rust spots around the plughole and deep scratches in acrylic, in acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Fenny Drayton

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Fenny Drayton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We leave the room as we found it

Common questions in Fenny Drayton

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Leicestershire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

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

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

What affects the price in Fenny Drayton

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Most clients in Fenny Drayton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlord and trade work in Fenny Drayton

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we are called out for in Fenny Drayton

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
