Bath repair near Rempstone

How we handle bath repair in Rempstone

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are damage beneath the taps and rust spots around the plughole.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Rempstone. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Signs you need bath repair in Rempstone

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Common reasons people in Rempstone contact us are:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

Questions to ask before you book

  • What preparation is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Rempstone

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

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • 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.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Rempstone

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. 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.

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LE12 postcode.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  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. Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
