How we handle bath repair in Rampton

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We’re often asked to fix scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a hole punched through by something heavy, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Cast iron

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

FAQs for Rampton

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally within a day, depending on the repair.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Common problems we fix in Rampton

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Repair or replace: which is better?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour-matched on site
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Rampton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

What affects the price in Rampton

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Roll-top & freestanding
