Bath repair in Kingsmoor

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

How we handle bath repair in Kingsmoor

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We are often asked to fix chips caused by builders and scuffs and scratches in the surface, across acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

Why repair rather than replace?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Kingsmoor. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Common problems we fix in Kingsmoor

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

How to compare quotes

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  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 tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SA68 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Kingsmoor, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

Kingsmoor questions

When can I have a bath again?

Most baths can be used the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Do you cover Kingsmoor?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Kingsmoor. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do you cover the entire of Pembrokeshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Kingsmoor included. Travel is included in the price.
