Bath repair near Weavering

Bath repair at your home in Weavering

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, generally in a single visit. We work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips along the edge of the bath.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Landlord and trade work in Weavering

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Weavering use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.

  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. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

What affects the price in Weavering

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Weavering. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Weavering, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repairing versus replacing in Weavering

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why Weavering customers choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Fixed prices from your photos
