Bath repair for Tempsford homes

How we handle bath repair in Tempsford

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for a hole punched through by something heavy and a chip where the taps sit, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When to call us in Tempsford

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Holes from dropped items

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you 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. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most customers in Tempsford get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For anyone letting property in or around Tempsford, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Tempsford: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Will the repair last?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

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

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
