Bath repair in Little Eriswell

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Bath repair in Little Eriswell, done in place

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the following day. Common call-outs are for a cracked acrylic bath and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, in whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Rusty chip next to a bath plughole, before and after repair

Do you need bath repair in Little Eriswell?

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How to look after the finish

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Where you are, by postcode

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Landlord and trade work in Little Eriswell

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Little Eriswell as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Little Eriswell, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Little Eriswell questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

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.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Are there extra charges for Little Eriswell?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.

  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. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
