Bath repair in Mattingley

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  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 following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Repair or replace in Mattingley?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Mattingley questions

Will the repair last?

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

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Hampshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

What affects the price in Mattingley

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Most clients in Mattingley get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Mattingley

For anyone letting property in or around Mattingley, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

  • Chips caused by builders
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
