Bath repair for Synod Inn homes

Bath repair in Synod Inn, done in place

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips under the taps, across whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Synod Inn as everywhere else we work.

Synod Inn: your questions answered

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Synod Inn. Prices do not change with location.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Will I be able to see the repair?

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

Is a bath repair permanent?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out 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 do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Take a look at our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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 risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Synod Inn. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Do you need bath repair in Synod Inn?

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 picture if you notice any of these:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Snagging damage from a refit

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We leave the room clean.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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 parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

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

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

Landlord and trade work in Synod Inn

If you manage property in Synod Inn, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
