When to call us in Lordington

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Holes from dropped items

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

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

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

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

What we work on

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

FAQs for Lordington

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

How long before I can use the bath?

Most baths can be used the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lordington

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What affects the price in Lordington

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Lordington. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
