Bath repair near Prestwood

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

How we handle bath repair in Prestwood

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can typically bathe again the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. If you are dealing with scuffs and scratches in the surface and a chipped rim or side, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic alike.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  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. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Prestwood, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Prestwood

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Your questions about bath repair in Prestwood

Can you quote from photos?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a bath repair permanent?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Do you cover Prestwood?

We do. We send a technician to Prestwood for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Typically. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you need bath repair in Prestwood?

A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
