Trusted bath repair in Nethy Bridge

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, 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

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath

For a price in Nethy Bridge, photos 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.

Bath repair at your home in Nethy Bridge

Bath repair is our most common job. 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. If you’re dealing with chips caused by builders and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can help, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

Can I fix it myself?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Signs you need bath repair in Nethy Bridge

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A chip where the taps sit

Comparing quotes

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Questions from Nethy Bridge

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Nethy Bridge included. Travel is included in the price.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do you work in Nethy Bridge?

We do. We send a technician to Nethy Bridge for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
