Bath repair at your home in Upper Beeding

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. Whether it’s a chipped rim or side and holes from dropped items, we can generally put it right, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Upper Beeding and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Upper Beeding questions

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

For a price in Upper Beeding, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Repair or replace in Upper Beeding?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What we’re called out for in Upper Beeding

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Snagging damage from a refit
