Bath repair near Spaldwick

Bath repair in Spaldwick without replacing anything

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We are often asked to fix a chipped rim or side and cracks in an acrylic bath, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Landlord and trade work in Spaldwick

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

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Spaldwick. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What affects the price in Spaldwick

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Spaldwick. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For a price in Spaldwick, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

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’s the part we put right.

Spaldwick questions

How long before I can use the bath?

Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Is it messy?

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

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
