Bath repair in Pogmoor

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How we handle bath repair in Pogmoor

Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, usually in a single visit. Common call-outs are for an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and rust spots around the plughole, in whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Questions from Pogmoor

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole bath

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

What we’re called out for in Pogmoor

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Pogmoor

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
