Bath repair near The Burroughs

Bath repair in The Burroughs, done in place

We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. We work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are a kit repair that didn’t last and chips on the rim or sides.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What affects the price in The Burroughs

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in The Burroughs, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When to call us in The Burroughs

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What preparation is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the colour is matched

Your questions about bath repair in The Burroughs

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Cast iron

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

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
