Bath repair in Greenlea

Bath repair at your home in Greenlea

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and snagging damage from a refit, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Landlord and trade work in Greenlea

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

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

When to call us in Greenlea

Rust normally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Common reasons people in Greenlea contact us are:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Damage beneath the taps

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Greenlea, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

What affects the price in Greenlea

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Greenlea. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • The material

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Common questions in Greenlea

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DG1 postcode.

What about rust by the waste?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A steel bath rusted through

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
