Bath repair for Lee Head homes

Bath repair in Lee Head without replacing anything

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for deep scratches in acrylic and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, in whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Lee Head and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlord and trade work in Lee Head

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repair or replace in Lee Head?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. 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 will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No need to remove anything
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Take a look at our pricing and bath cost comparison.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lee Head. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Lee Head, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When can you do it?

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Do you need bath repair in Lee Head?

Rust normally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Chips under the taps
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Holes from dropped items

Comparing quotes

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
