About our bath repair in Row Green

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Whether it’s scuffs and scratches in the surface and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can normally put it right.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Row Green as everywhere else we work.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

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.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Common questions in Row Green

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Are you a vetted contractor?

How much does bath repair cost in Row Green?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Signs you need bath repair in Row Green

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A cracked acrylic bath

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Row Green

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.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. 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.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  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. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
