Bath repair in Southrey

Repair or replace in Southrey?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Southrey, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Southrey as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

When to call us in Southrey

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

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.

Southrey: your questions answered

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will there be a smell?

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

When can I have a bath again?

Normally the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Have new chips seen to early

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

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

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

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
