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. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

  • No need to remove anything
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Common questions in Lessingham

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How invisible is a bath repair?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

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

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Do you need bath repair in Lessingham?

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Holes from dropped items

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Aftercare advice
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What affects the price in Lessingham

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Lessingham. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Lessingham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures 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

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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.
