Bath repair for Gellyburn homes

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Bath repair in Gellyburn, done in place

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are chips along the edge of the bath and impact holes in acrylic.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Gellyburn as everywhere else we work.

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

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

Gellyburn: your questions answered

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Gellyburn.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Gellyburn

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No need to remove anything
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Related advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gellyburn

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gellyburn as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

When to call us in Gellyburn

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

Common reasons people in Gellyburn contact us are:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Chips caused by builders

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before booking

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Composite and resin

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