Trusted bath repair in Sutton Crosses

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Sutton Crosses. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Sutton Crosses, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

About our bath repair in Sutton Crosses

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and snagging damage from a refit, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

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

Materials we work on in Sutton Crosses

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

What we are called out for in Sutton Crosses

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

Before you book anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlord and trade work in Sutton Crosses

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.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Questions from Sutton Crosses

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.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is my repair covered?

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

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Will the repair show?

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

Do you cover the entire of Lincolnshire?

Across the UK, and that includes Sutton Crosses. Prices don’t change with location.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

When can I have a bath again?

Usually within a day, though it depends on what we have done.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

The process

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
