Need bath repair in Flinton?

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

About our bath repair in Flinton

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We are frequently asked to fix a cracked acrylic bath and chips along the edge of the bath, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Flinton and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Flinton: your questions answered

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

How invisible is a bath repair?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

How long before I can use the bath?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Store metal items away from the bath

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Signs you need bath repair in Flinton

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Chips caused by builders

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Aftercare advice
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
