Bath repair in Inkberrow, done in place

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a hole punched through by something heavy.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Signs you need bath repair in Inkberrow

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Common reasons people in Inkberrow contact us include:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Rust spots around the plughole

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Generally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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 often lifts.

Your questions about bath repair in Inkberrow

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Inkberrow?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How invisible is a bath repair?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Inkberrow, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  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 following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

We price from photos 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 you’ll get a fixed figure back.
