Trusted bath repair in Sheepdrove

The process

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Bath repair at your home in Sheepdrove

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about a chip where the taps sit and holes from dropped items.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Sheepdrove. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

For a price in Sheepdrove, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Signs you need bath repair in Sheepdrove

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Chips under the taps
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the colour is matched
  • How to look after the finish

How to compare quotes

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

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 the part we put right.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Common questions in Sheepdrove

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you cover Sheepdrove?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Sheepdrove. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sheepdrove

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sheepdrove as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
