Bath repair in Lythe

Signs you need bath repair in Lythe

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  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. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Lythe. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lythe

For anyone letting property in or around Lythe, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

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

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Lythe: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
