How we handle bath repair in Four Throws

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. Whether it’s holes from dropped items and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Four Throws as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Common problems we fix in Four Throws

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • A cracked acrylic bath

Your questions about bath repair in Four Throws

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

What affects the price in Four Throws

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Most clients in Four Throws get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
