Repairing versus replacing in Kippford
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Everything repaired in place
See our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Kippford. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For anyone letting property in or around Kippford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
