Bath repair near Lem Hill

Bath repair at your home in Lem Hill

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We’re frequently asked to fix chips along the edge of the bath and snagging damage from a refit, across whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Lem Hill

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

Your questions about bath repair in Lem Hill

How long does the repair take to cure?

Usually the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How much does bath repair cost in Lem Hill?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DY14 postcode.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Lem Hill

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

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

When to call us in Lem Hill

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Look out for these signs:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
