Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Have new chips seen to early

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Bath repair in Old Beetley, done in place

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Whether it’s chips on the rim or sides and chips under the taps, we can usually put it right.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Old Beetley: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What does bath repair cost?

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

When can I have a bath again?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Old Beetley

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

When to call us in Old Beetley

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.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How soon you can use it again

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

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

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. 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 us?

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
