Bath repair for Toft homes

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

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.

Your questions about bath repair in Toft

Do you work in Toft?

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

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

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.

Is a bath repair permanent?

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

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Cambridgeshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens next?

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

What affects the price in Toft

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Most clients in Toft get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When to call us in Toft

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Impact holes in acrylic

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Repairing versus replacing in Toft

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Toft as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  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. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
