What we’re called out for in Glewstone

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

10 questions to ask before you book

Should you replace it?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We leave the room as we found it

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Make sure the area is dry

Glewstone: your questions answered

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.

Will the repair last?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Glewstone included. Travel is included in the price.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Typically within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What affects the price in Glewstone

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Glewstone. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix 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 to keep costs down.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
