The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

How we handle bath repair in Metheringham

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and snagging damage from a refit, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

If you are in Metheringham and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Metheringham questions

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Are you accredited?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Typically within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Are there extra charges for Metheringham?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Metheringham

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Signs you need bath repair in Metheringham

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
