How we handle bath repair in Redbourne

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. If you’re dealing with scuffs and scratches in the surface and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can normally put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A steel bath rusted through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Redbourne

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

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Redbourne: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will the repair last?

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

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

What we’re called out for in Redbourne

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

Common reasons people in Redbourne contact us include:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Damage beneath the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the colour is matched
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What affects the price in Redbourne

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire bath

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Redbourne

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

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Redbourne as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
