Bath repair for Piddington homes

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

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

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Piddington. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Any details about the material

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

About our bath repair in Piddington

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Common call-outs are for a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a cracked acrylic bath, across cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Common questions in Piddington

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Do you work in Piddington?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Piddington for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Piddington use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Why repair rather than replace?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

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

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Piddington

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Rust spots around the plughole
