Bath repair for Little Horwood homes

How we handle bath repair in Little Horwood

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the following day. We work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are a cracked acrylic bath and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Milton Keynes.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Should you replace it?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: 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.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Little Horwood questions

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Will the repair last?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Little Horwood. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Signs you need bath repair in Little Horwood

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Before you book anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
