DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Market Rasen questions

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Are there extra charges for Market Rasen?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What information do you need?

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

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Market Rasen included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Market Rasen. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

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

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos 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. 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

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Get a quote
