Bath repair in Longdon Green

About our bath repair in Longdon Green

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Typical jobs include chips caused by builders and damage beneath the taps, across acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Longdon Green

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Most customers in Longdon Green get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Questions from Longdon Green

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you come to Longdon Green?

We do. Technicians travel to Longdon Green from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

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

What we work on

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

Do you need bath repair in Longdon Green?

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How your room will be protected
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
