Bath repair in Sewstern

How we handle bath repair in Sewstern

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. If you are dealing with damage beneath the taps and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can help.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lincolnshire.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

What bath repair costs

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

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in Sewstern, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Sewstern questions

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Do you cover the entire of Lincolnshire?

The entire UK, including all of Lincolnshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you work in Sewstern?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Sewstern and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

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

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Sewstern customers choose us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. 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, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
