Your questions about bath repair in Scholar Green

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

About our bath repair in Scholar Green

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. If you’re dealing with cracks in an acrylic bath and holes from dropped items, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, 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.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after 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. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage

Should you replace it?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Repairs by material

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 what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Common problems we fix in Scholar Green

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Chips under the taps
  • A chipped rim or side

Comparing quotes

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
