Bath repair in Picket Twenty, done in place

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or sides and cracks in an acrylic bath.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Picket Twenty

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

Picket Twenty: your questions answered

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

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

Do you cover Picket Twenty?

We do. Technicians travel to Picket Twenty from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Repair or replace in Picket Twenty?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Picket Twenty. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Do you need bath repair in Picket Twenty?

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

Before you book anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Picket Twenty, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper 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, and the work is guaranteed.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
