Trusted bath repair in Rampton

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

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.

About our bath repair in Rampton

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. Whether it’s rust spots around the plughole and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What we’re called out for in Rampton

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Rampton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Rampton questions

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Are there extra charges for Rampton?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
