Bath repair for Reedness homes

How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

About our bath repair in Reedness

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can generally bathe again the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and deep scratches in acrylic.

Repairing versus replacing in Reedness

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why Reedness clients choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Take a look at our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in Reedness, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Reedness: your questions answered

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will the repair show?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

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.

Will the repair last?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Reedness?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

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

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Reedness

Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Before booking anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Riding of Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
