Bath repair for Ryde homes

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How we handle bath repair in Ryde

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. Common call-outs are for a cracked acrylic bath and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, across pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Ryde and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Signs you need bath repair in Ryde

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before booking

What bath repair costs

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ryde

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should you replace it?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Your questions about bath repair in Ryde

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
