Need bath repair in Turville Heath?

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

About our bath repair in Turville Heath

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’s level with the surrounding surface. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a kit repair that didn’t last and damage beneath the taps.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

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, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend 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.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Turville Heath

Questions from Turville Heath

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Do you need bath repair in Turville Heath?

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

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

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Chips under the taps
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

Choosing a repair company

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Turville Heath. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Turville Heath. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and 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 build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your RG9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
