Your questions about bath repair in Restronguet Passage

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

How we handle bath repair in Restronguet Passage

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a kit repair that didn’t last, across roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlord and trade work in Restronguet Passage

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Repair or replace in Restronguet Passage?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

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.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

What we’re called out for in Restronguet Passage

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

Choosing a repair company

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

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

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you 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 few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
