Bath repair for Pickhill homes

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Bath repair at your home in Pickhill

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We are frequently asked to fix scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips on the rim or sides, in pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Repairing versus replacing in Pickhill

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pickhill

For anyone letting property in or around Pickhill, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Honest limits

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

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Pickhill

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

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.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Pickhill: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
