Bath repair in Latton

About our bath repair in Latton

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Typical jobs include impact holes in acrylic and snagging damage from a refit, in whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

When to call us in Latton

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A cracked acrylic bath

Our hiring checklist

Latton: your questions answered

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What do you need from me?

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

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

What areas do you cover?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

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 is the part we put right.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add 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.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

How we price bath repair

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

  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A steel bath rusted through

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

Materials we work on in Latton

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

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Latton, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
