Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Bath repair in Tantany, done in place

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and rust spots around the plughole, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Tantany and across Sandwell.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What we’re called out for in Tantany

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Impact holes in acrylic

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

Your questions about bath repair in Tantany

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Will the repair last?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

How invisible is a bath repair?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a fitted bath typically means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No need to remove anything
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

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

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

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

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
