How we handle bath repair in Philipshill

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for scratches you can feel with a fingernail and rust by the waste and overflow, across pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Philipshill. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Philipshill, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

When to call us in Philipshill

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Chips under the taps
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

Why repair rather than replace?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

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

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Philipshill

For developers and builders, we fix 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.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  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. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
