Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Bath repair in Vernham Dean, done in place

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and rusty patches near the plughole.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

FAQs for Vernham Dean

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SP11 postcode.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Vernham Dean. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you’re in Vernham Dean and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Vernham Dean use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Common problems we fix in Vernham Dean

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

How to compare quotes

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
