About our bath repair in Overchurch

We are frequently asked to fix chips on the rim or sides and deep scratches in acrylic, in cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

10 questions to ask before booking

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Everything repaired in place
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  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 day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

FAQs for Overchurch

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Do you cover Overchurch?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Overchurch from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What bath repair costs

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

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

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Have new chips seen to early

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
