Over questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is a bath repair permanent?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Are there extra charges for Over?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Bath repair in Over without replacing anything

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. If you’re dealing with deep scratches in acrylic and snagging damage from a refit, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Landlord and trade work in Over

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

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

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Over

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

When to call us in Over

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Common reasons people in Over contact us include:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Before you book anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before booking

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
