Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

Bath repair at your home in Ousefleet

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Whether it’s a chipped rim or side and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can typically put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Related advice

Should you replace it?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. 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 pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ousefleet

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ousefleet use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

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 we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

What affects the price in Ousefleet

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Ousefleet. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common questions in Ousefleet

Do you work in Ousefleet?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Ousefleet and the rest of East Riding of Yorkshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What areas do you cover?

All of East Riding of Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

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