How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Bath repair in Snelland, done in place

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can generally use the bath the following day. If you’re dealing with a chipped rim or side and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can normally put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Snelland

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

  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  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, usually the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting 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, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

When to call us in Snelland

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Chips caused by builders
  • A chipped rim or side

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What preparation is included
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Snelland. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

FAQs for Snelland

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Lincolnshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Landlord and trade work in Snelland

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
