Bath repair in Preston on Wye

Bath repair in Preston on Wye without replacing anything

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about scratches you can feel with a fingernail and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Preston on Wye: your questions answered

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will the repair last?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Should you replace it?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

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

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Cast iron

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures 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. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Advice

What we are called out for in Preston on Wye

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Common reasons people in Preston on Wye contact us are:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Snagging damage from a refit

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Preston on Wye. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
