Bath repair near Foulden

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Bath repair in Foulden without replacing anything

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about snagging damage from a refit and cracks in an acrylic bath.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Foulden

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For anyone letting property in or around Foulden, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the area is dry

Related advice

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 normally cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common problems we fix in Foulden

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

  • Whether we combine several jobs

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Foulden

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
