What we’re called out for in Gawthrop
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
The things clients normally mention when they call include:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A hole punched through by something heavy
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- How your room will be protected
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. 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.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repairing versus replacing in Gawthrop
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- No need to remove anything
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
