When to call us in Sudbrook

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

Bath repair in Sudbrook without replacing anything

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. Whether it’s chips along the edge of the bath and snagging damage from a refit, we can help, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairing versus replacing in Sudbrook

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Sudbrook. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour-matched on site

Aftercare tips

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

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Composite and resin

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

Landlord and trade work in Sudbrook

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Common questions in Sudbrook

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is there any odour?

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

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Typically. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain 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. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
