Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Common questions in Vanbrugh Park Estate

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Are there extra charges for Vanbrugh Park Estate?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

How long does the repair take to cure?

Usually within a day, depending on the repair.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Vanbrugh Park Estate?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

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

What affects the price in Vanbrugh Park Estate

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

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

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

Materials we repair

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

What we are called out for in Vanbrugh Park Estate

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Holes from dropped items
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

Comparing quotes

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
