Book bath repair in Irchester

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  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 next day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

About our bath repair in Irchester

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the next day. Whether it’s scuffs and scratches in the surface and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can help, whatever the material.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Irchester and across Northamptonshire.

Do you need bath repair in Irchester?

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

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Aftercare advice
  • What preparation is included

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Irchester

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Your questions about bath repair in Irchester

Do you cover the entire of Northamptonshire?

All of Northamptonshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

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 there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

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 the part we put right.

Repair or replace in Irchester?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
