Bath repair for Robin Hood homes

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  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 tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.

Advice

About our bath repair in Robin Hood

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with chips on the rim or sides and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can help.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Common problems we fix in Robin Hood

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A cracked acrylic bath

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Robin Hood: your questions answered

Can you redo an old repair?

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

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

How long before I can use the bath?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

How invisible is a bath repair?

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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
