Bath repair in Normandy

Bath repair in Normandy, done in place

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about a chipped rim or side and a kit repair that didn’t last.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Surrey and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

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

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

If you’re just outside Normandy, we cover Willey Green (1 mile east), Flexford (1 mile south), Christmas Pie (1 mile south), Wyke (1 mile west) and Wanborough (2 miles south). Further out, we also cover Guildford (4 miles east), Woking (6 miles north-east), Camberley (6 miles north-west), Farnham (6 miles south-west), Egham (13 miles north-east) and Walton-on-Thames (14 miles north-east).

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Advice

What we’re called out for in Normandy

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

How to compare quotes

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Normandy questions

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Usually the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
