Bath repair in Park Gate

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Bath repair in Park Gate, done in place

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Typical jobs include damage beneath the taps and a hole punched through by something heavy, in cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Worcestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Park Gate questions

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Do you come to Park Gate?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Park Gate from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

How invisible is a bath repair?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do you need bath repair in Park Gate?

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

The things customers usually mention when they call are:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A chipped rim or side
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • What preparation is included
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before booking

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, 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 it can start to leak underneath.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
