What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Composite and resin

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

Questions from Gonerby Moor

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

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.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What we’re called out for in Gonerby Moor

A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Landlord and trade work in Gonerby Moor

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gonerby Moor as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Gonerby Moor. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
