Questions from Goulceby

Do you come to Goulceby?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Goulceby and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you cover the whole of Lincolnshire?

Across the UK, so Goulceby is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Bath repair in Goulceby, done in place

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s rusty patches near the plughole and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Different materials, different repairs

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 is the part we put right.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole bath

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LN11 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Goulceby

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Goulceby use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
