Bath repair near Quemerford

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Bath repair at your home in Quemerford

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Typical jobs include impact holes in acrylic and rust spots around the plughole, in cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

FAQs for Quemerford

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is a bath repair durable?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done 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. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Rinse it down after each bath

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

When to call us in Quemerford

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Chips on the rim or sides

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What preparation is included
