About our bath repair in Greysouthen

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are deep scratches in acrylic and chips along the edge of the bath.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Greysouthen: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

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’s the part we put right.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Do you need bath repair in Greysouthen?

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Chips caused by builders

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
