How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

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 early repair keeps the cost down.

Bath repair at your home in Gringley on the Hill

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about damage beneath the taps and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gringley on the Hill

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

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

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 repair chips early.

Repair or replace in Gringley on the Hill?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Gringley on the Hill. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work

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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back

If you’re in Gringley on the Hill and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

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.

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  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

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Your questions about bath repair in Gringley on the Hill

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Is my repair covered?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

How long does the repair take to cure?

Typically the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Do you cover Gringley on the Hill?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Gringley on the Hill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

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