Bath repair for Nash Street homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Bath repair at your home in Nash Street

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Common call-outs are for rust by the waste and overflow and damage beneath the taps, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

The process

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 work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

Advice

Your questions about bath repair in Nash Street

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

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

When can I have a bath again?

Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Nash Street?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Do you cover Nash Street?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Nash Street and the rest of Kent. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

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

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

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

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

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repairing versus replacing in Nash Street

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
