Need bath repair in Priory Vale?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Bath repair at your home in Priory Vale

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We are often asked to fix rusty patches near the plughole and a cracked acrylic bath, across cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Repairing versus replacing in Priory Vale

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: 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.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

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

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Questions from Priory Vale

Do you come to Priory Vale?

We do. We send a technician to Priory Vale for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
