Bath repair for Shobley homes

Bath repair at your home in Shobley

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Typical jobs include damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, in roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.

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

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Shobley questions

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Typically within a day, though it depends on what we have done.

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Are you accredited?

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

Should you replace it?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

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

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Shobley

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Related advice

Do you need bath repair in Shobley?

A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until it cracks.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

Before booking anyone

  • What prep work is covered
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
