About our bath repair in Wanshurst Green

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. If you’re dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and chips caused by builders, we can generally put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common questions in Wanshurst Green

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Common problems we fix in Wanshurst Green

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wanshurst Green

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  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, normally the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

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.
