Bath repair for Forest Becks homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Bath repair in Forest Becks without replacing anything

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We are frequently asked to fix an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a chipped rim or side, in acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Forest Becks. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Do you need bath repair in Forest Becks?

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

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 is the part we put right.

Your questions about bath repair in Forest Becks

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Is a bath repair durable?

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

Are there extra charges for Forest Becks?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Will I be able to see the 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.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Forest Becks use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

The process

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
