Bath repair in Mere Green

Bath repair in Mere Green, done in place

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips on the rim or sides.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Mere Green

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you cover the entire of Worcestershire?

All of Worcestershire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a bath repair permanent?

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

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Can landlords book you?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Common problems we fix in Mere Green

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

The things clients typically mention when they call include:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

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

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

Repair or replace in Mere Green?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
