Bath repair for Pinewood Village homes

Bath repair at your home in Pinewood Village

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in a single visit. Common call-outs are for rust spots around the plughole and a chip where the taps sit, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Bath enamel chip by the waste, filled and colour matched (before and after)

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Landlord and trade work in Pinewood Village

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
