Bath repair in Tidbury Green

Bath repair in Tidbury Green without replacing anything

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Whether it’s a chipped rim or side and chips under the taps, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Tidbury Green questions

Is a bath repair durable?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do you work in Tidbury Green?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Tidbury Green from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When can I have a bath again?

Most baths can be used the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

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