Choosing a repair company

About our bath repair in Upper Affcot

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and scratches in the surface and a cracked acrylic bath.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Questions from Upper Affcot

How long before I can use the bath?

Usually the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

What affects the price in Upper Affcot

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Upper Affcot. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

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

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
