Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. If you are dealing with chips caused by builders and holes from dropped items, we can usually put it right.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Lound and across Nottinghamshire.

Common questions in Lound

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Is a bath repair durable?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

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

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

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

What affects the price in Lound

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

Most customers in Lound get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

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.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Lound, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Impact holes in acrylic
