Bath repair in Redford without replacing anything

Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, usually in a single visit. Whether it’s rusty patches near the plughole and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can generally put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic alike.

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

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

What affects the price in Redford

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Redford questions

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Will the repair show?

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

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Honest limits

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

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Redford as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Repair or replace in Redford?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
