Bath repair near Jersey Marine

Bath repair at your home in Jersey Marine

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. Typical jobs include chips under the taps and holes from dropped items, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

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

Materials we work on in Jersey Marine

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Jersey Marine as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a fitted bath typically means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Jersey Marine

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Jersey Marine. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

We price from pictures 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 will get a fixed figure back.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
