Bath repair near Little Marlow

Landlord and trade work in Little Marlow

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Bath repair in Little Marlow without replacing anything

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our technicians work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about rusty patches near the plughole and cracks in an acrylic bath.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

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

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Signs you need bath repair in Little Marlow

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Chips caused by builders

Comparing quotes

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

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

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

What affects the price in Little Marlow

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Little Marlow. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Do not 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
