Trusted bath repair in Lissenden Gardens

Can I fix it myself?

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 usually cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Bath repair at your home in Lissenden Gardens

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. If you’re dealing with chips under the taps and a chipped rim or side, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Questions from Lissenden Gardens

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What information do you need?

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

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

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.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What we’re called out for in Lissenden Gardens

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Lissenden Gardens. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  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 following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
