Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

About our bath repair in Manningford Bohune

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the day after. If you’re dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and a chip where the taps sit, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

What your bath is made of matters

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, so it’s always worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

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

Surfaces we repair

Common questions in Manningford Bohune

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Signs you need bath repair in Manningford Bohune

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Look out for these signs:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Damage beneath the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before you book

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after 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. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

What affects the price in Manningford Bohune

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
