How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

How we handle bath repair in Pudding Norton

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the day after. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are chips caused by builders and chips under the taps.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Pudding Norton as everywhere else we work.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

When to call us in Pudding Norton

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.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
