Need bath repair in Lamerton?

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lamerton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Bath repair in Lamerton, done in place

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can normally use the bath the day after. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are a hole punched through by something heavy and a chip where the taps sit.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lamerton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

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

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Access to the area
Unusual colours or finishes
The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

Details of any past repairs
Natural light rather than flash
A close-up of the damage, in focus
Any details about the material

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Common problems we fix in Lamerton

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
Cracks in an acrylic bath
Chips caused by builders
Chips on the rim or sides

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about bath repair in Lamerton

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

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

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.

Do you cover Lamerton?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Lamerton. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
