Bath repair near Scurlage

Bath repair at your home in Scurlage

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. We’re often asked to fix chips along the edge of the bath and rust by the waste and overflow, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long

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.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. 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.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

There is no need for us to visit first. 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 price.

What we are called out for in Scurlage

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Snagging damage from a refit

Questions to ask before booking

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long it needs to cure

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Scurlage use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Scurlage questions

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SA3 postcode.

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

What your bath is made of matters

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’s what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
