Bath repair near Upper Littleton

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Bath repair in Upper Littleton, done in place

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are rust spots around the plughole and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When to call us in Upper Littleton

Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A chipped rim or side

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A steel bath rusted through

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

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Common questions in Upper Littleton

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

What about rust by the waste?

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.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

What do you need from me?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Upper Littleton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
