Bath repair in Littlemoor

How we handle bath repair in Littlemoor

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can typically bathe again the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Common call-outs are for a kit repair that didn’t last and a chip where the taps sit, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairs by material

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

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we do, step by step

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, including clearing up.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  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. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Littlemoor, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Repair or replace: which is better?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

Landlord and trade work in Littlemoor

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we are called out for in Littlemoor

A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.

Look out for these signs:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Holes from dropped items
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Chips caused by builders

Comparing quotes

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

Littlemoor questions

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

How long before I can use the bath?

Typically within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Do you work in Littlemoor?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Littlemoor from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
