Bath repair for Slaugham homes

Landlord and trade work in Slaugham

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

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.

Why repair rather than replace?

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Slaugham questions

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How invisible is a bath repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

What about rust by the waste?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What affects the price in Slaugham

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Slaugham. The price reflects:

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Slaugham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most clients in Slaugham get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

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

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. 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

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
