Repairing versus replacing in Sells Green

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Sells Green clients choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

How we handle bath repair in Sells Green

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We’re often asked to fix hairline or through cracks in acrylic and chips on the rim or sides, in whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

What affects the price in Sells Green

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sells Green use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we are called out for in Sells Green

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

What to look for in a quote

  • How to care for the finish
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

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.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What we can’t put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

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

Materials we work on in Sells Green

  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding

Sells Green: your questions answered

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

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.

How long before I can use the bath?

Most baths can be used the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

Will the repair last?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
