About our bath repair in Gidea Park

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can generally bathe again the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are chips caused by builders and scuffs and scratches in the surface.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gidea Park

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

If you manage property in Gidea Park, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Advice

Questions from Gidea Park

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Gidea Park?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

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.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

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

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Common problems we fix in Gidea Park

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Gidea Park. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the 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’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
