Bath repair in Ossington

Bath repair at your home in Ossington

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. We are frequently asked to fix an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and impact holes in acrylic, in cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ossington as everywhere else we work.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

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.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Landlord and trade work in Ossington

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repair or replace in Ossington?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. 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.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No extra charge for your area

Do you need bath repair in Ossington?

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Ossington questions

How do I get a price for bath repair in Ossington?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Will the repair last?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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