Bath repair in Rinsey Croft

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  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. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Common problems we fix in Rinsey Croft

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

For landlords and businesses

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

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

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Rinsey Croft questions

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Will I be able to see the repair?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

How long before I can use the bath?

Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Do you cover Rinsey Croft?

We do. We send a technician to Rinsey Croft for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Rinsey Croft. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole bath

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Rinsey Croft, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Rinsey Croft

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.
