Bath repair at your home in Pertenhall

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are cracks in an acrylic bath and rust spots around the plughole.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Pertenhall and across Bedford Borough.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pertenhall

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Pertenhall

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I book?

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

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  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, generally the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Acrylic

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

What we are called out for in Pertenhall

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. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Chips under the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
