Bath repair in Golden Valley

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Bath repair in Golden Valley, done in place

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We’re frequently asked to fix a cracked acrylic bath and a kit repair that didn’t last, across acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we can’t put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Pressed steel enamel

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

Composite and resin

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

Golden Valley questions

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Will the repair last?

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

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.

When to call us in Golden Valley

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Holes from dropped items

Comparing quotes
