Bath repair for Foxbury homes

Should you replace it?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before you book

About our bath repair in Foxbury

Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, generally in a single visit. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and damage beneath the taps.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

FAQs for Foxbury

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Foxbury. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A steel bath rusted through

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Signs you need bath repair in Foxbury

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Chips under the taps
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Chips on the rim or sides

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work

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.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
