Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Common questions in Orton-on-the-Hill

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Will the repair last?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you come to Orton-on-the-Hill?

We do. We send a technician to Orton-on-the-Hill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Signs you need bath repair in Orton-on-the-Hill

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Snagging damage from a refit

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

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.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
