Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Have new chips seen to early

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Bath repair at your home in Keynor Estate

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. Whether it’s chips along the edge of the bath and impact holes in acrylic, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Keynor Estate use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Repairs by material

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.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Keynor Estate

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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 pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Questions from Keynor Estate

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

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.

Common problems we fix in Keynor Estate

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

The things clients generally mention when they call include:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Holes from dropped items
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Damage beneath the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • How to look after the finish
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good.
