About our bath repair in Greatham

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Whether it’s scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips on the rim or sides, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Greatham

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

If you manage property in Greatham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

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

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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 typically the cheaper route.

Common problems we fix in Greatham

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Look out for these signs:

  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Holes from dropped items
  • A chip where the taps sit

Before booking anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How your room will be protected
  • When it can be used again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Greatham. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

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

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • A steel bath rusted through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Greatham: your questions answered

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  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

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
