Bath repair for Little Beckford homes

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Bath repair in Little Beckford, done in place

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We are often asked to fix chips under the taps and cracks in an acrylic bath, in whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Little Beckford and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Do you need bath repair in Little Beckford?

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Little Beckford

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

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

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Can you redo an old repair?

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

How do I get a price for bath repair in Little Beckford?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, 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, just like other baths.

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage.

  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. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 generally the cheaper route.

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, and the work is guaranteed.
