Trusted bath repair in Furzehill

Bath repair in Furzehill without replacing anything

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. If you’re dealing with holes from dropped items and a chip where the taps sit, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Repairs by material

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 is the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Furzehill. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Furzehill

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

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

What we’re called out for in Furzehill

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

People typically call us when they notice something like this:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Repairing versus replacing in Furzehill

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
