About our bath repair in New Boultham

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Typical jobs include scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a chip where the taps sit, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Bath enamel chip by the waste, filled and colour matched (before and after)

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

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

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LN5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Do you need bath repair in New Boultham?

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A chipped rim or side

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How your room will be protected
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in New Boultham, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in New Boultham as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

New Boultham: your questions answered

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is a bath repair durable?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

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.

Will the repair show?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
