Questions from Ivinghoe

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Will the repair last?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Bath repair at your home in Ivinghoe

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are rust spots around the plughole and cracks in an acrylic bath.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Ivinghoe

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who will actually do the work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace in Ivinghoe?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

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

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

The price 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 pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlord and trade work in Ivinghoe

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Ivinghoe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

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