Repairs by material

Composite and resin

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

Cast iron

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

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For anyone letting property in or around Ockham, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

Ockham: your questions answered

Do you cover Ockham?

We do. Technicians travel to Ockham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Ockham

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

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Advice

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

What we are called out for in Ockham

Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Ockham. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
