Bath repair near Radfield

Bath repair in Radfield without replacing anything

We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. Our technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a chip where the taps sit and scuffs and scratches in the surface.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Landlord and trade work in Radfield

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

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Why repair rather than replace?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

What affects the price in Radfield

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Radfield. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

When to call us in Radfield

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Rust spots around the plughole

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day
