What else we do in Grange Hill
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Have new chips seen to early
- Store metal items away from the bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Landlord and trade work in Grange Hill
For anyone letting property in or around Grange Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
