Should you replace it?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

What affects the price in Outwood

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

What we are called out for in Outwood

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Outwood use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Common questions in Outwood

Is a bath repair durable?

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

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you cover the whole of Surrey?

The whole UK, including all of Surrey. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

What does bath repair cost?

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

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

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