Bath repair in Naughton, done in place

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the rim or sides and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, in acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

Questions from Naughton

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Naughton.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

How long before I can use the bath?

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

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Do you need bath repair in Naughton?

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips under the taps
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How to look after the finish

How to compare quotes

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

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

Acrylic

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
