Bath repair in Overtown

When to call us in Overtown

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Damage beneath the taps

Our hiring checklist

Bath repair at your home in Overtown

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are impact holes in acrylic and a cracked acrylic bath.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What affects the price in Overtown

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you are in Overtown and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We leave the room clean.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Overtown as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Common questions in Overtown

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you cover Overtown?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Overtown from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
