About our bath repair in Pentney

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. If you’re dealing with holes from dropped items and rust by the waste and overflow, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Pentney

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

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Questions from Pentney

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Are there extra charges for Pentney?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Generally, 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.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Pentney.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Common problems we fix in Pentney

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: 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.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Aftercare advice
