Bath repair in Grendon

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Bath repair in Grendon without replacing anything

Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, typically in a single visit. Whether it’s rusty patches near the plughole and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you are in Grendon and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Grendon

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

For anyone letting property in or around Grendon, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

What we’re called out for in Grendon

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A chipped rim or side

Questions to ask before you book

  • What preparation is included
  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

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

What we work on

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

What happens after I send photos?

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

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
