Trusted bath repair in Little Plumstead

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

About our bath repair in Little Plumstead

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you are dealing with scuffs and scratches in the surface and rust by the waste and overflow, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Little Plumstead. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • The material

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically 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.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

How it works

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

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Do you need bath repair in Little Plumstead?

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

What your quote should include

  • How to look after the finish
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before booking

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

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

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
