Bath repair for Nash homes

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

About our bath repair in Nash

Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. If you are dealing with scuffs and scratches in the surface and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can usually put it right, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Nash

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Your questions about bath repair in Nash

Is my repair covered?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, 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 next day.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repairing versus replacing in Nash

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we are called out for in Nash

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

People generally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Chips caused by builders

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

What we cannot put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
