Bath repair in New Zealand

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

About our bath repair in New Zealand

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Whether it’s cracks in an acrylic bath and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Before and after: a damaged acrylic bath corner repaired in place

Should you replace it?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why New Zealand clients choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Common questions in New Zealand

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

Do you cover the whole of Buckinghamshire?

We cover the entire UK, including New Zealand and the rest of Buckinghamshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

What about rust by the waste?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Are there extra charges for New Zealand?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What does bath repair cost?

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

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What we are called out for in New Zealand

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

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A chipped rim or side
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Damage beneath the taps

Before booking anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before you book

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Landlord and trade work in New Zealand

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
