Bath repair near Patchetts Green

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

Repairs by material

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.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

What we are called out for in Patchetts Green

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Chips caused by builders

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For anyone letting property in or around Patchetts Green, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Patchetts Green: your questions answered

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Do you cover Patchetts Green?

We do. We send a technician to Patchetts Green for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you repair coloured baths?

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

Will the repair last?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Patchetts Green. The price reflects:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Patchetts Green, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How it works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
