Bath repair near Lambourne

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

About our bath repair in Lambourne

We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. Each is repaired in place with a one-year guarantee. If you’re dealing with rust by the waste and overflow and deep scratches in acrylic, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Signs you need bath repair in Lambourne

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

10 questions to ask before booking

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Should you replace it?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Landlord and trade work in Lambourne

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

If you manage property in Lambourne, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A steel bath rusted through

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
