Bath repair for Plot Gate homes

Bath repair at your home in Plot Gate

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for holes from dropped items and a chip where the taps sit, across pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the price in Plot Gate

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Plot Gate. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

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

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Why repair rather than replace?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Everything repaired in place

Common questions in Plot Gate

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Plot Gate?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Plot Gate

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
