Bath repair in Northchapel

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

How we handle bath repair in Northchapel

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and impact holes in acrylic, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry

Related advice

Common problems we fix in Northchapel

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

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

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Chips caused by builders
  • A cracked acrylic bath

Our hiring checklist

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Questions from Northchapel

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Typically within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Generally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.

Landlord and trade work in Northchapel

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

Why repair rather than replace?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
