What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

About our bath repair in Lenton

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, usually in a single visit. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or sides and holes from dropped items, across roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in Lenton

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: 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. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lenton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Signs you need bath repair in Lenton

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Chips on the rim or sides

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What prep work is covered
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

Lenton: your questions answered

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Landlord and trade work in Lenton

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

For anyone letting property in or around Lenton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
