Bath repair near Wanstrow

Bath repair in Wanstrow, done in place

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s a chipped rim or side and rusty patches near the plughole, we can generally put it right, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Wanstrow as everywhere else we work.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wanstrow as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  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, usually the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Common problems we fix in Wanstrow

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Snagging damage from a refit

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Wanstrow

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Take a look at our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
