Repair or replace in Vauxhall?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why Vauxhall clients choose us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Take a look at our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  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. Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

Honest limits

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

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

Materials we work on in Vauxhall

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

Questions from Vauxhall

Do you come to Vauxhall?

We do. We send a technician to Vauxhall for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is a bath repair permanent?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

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

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Vauxhall. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Do you need bath repair in Vauxhall?

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

The things clients generally mention when they call are:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Impact holes in acrylic

Before booking anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • When it can be used again

Landlord and trade work in Vauxhall

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

If you manage property in Vauxhall, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
