Before and after: a damaged acrylic bath corner repaired in place

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lambourn

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For anyone letting property in or around Lambourn, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repairing versus replacing in Lambourn

Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Questions from Lambourn

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Usually within a day, depending on the repair.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Lambourn is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
