Bath repair in Flanderwell

Flanderwell: your questions answered

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

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

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will the repair show?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

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.

What we’re called out for in Flanderwell

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Chips caused by builders

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Flanderwell

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Flanderwell, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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.
