Bath repair for Sibbertoft homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Bath repair in Sibbertoft, done in place

We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. We’re often asked to fix damage beneath the taps and chips caused by builders, across whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

What we are called out for in Sibbertoft

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For anyone letting property in or around Sibbertoft, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Should you replace it?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sibbertoft. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

Sibbertoft: your questions answered

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you work in Sibbertoft?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Sibbertoft from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
