Bath repair for Welbourn homes

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Bath repair in Welbourn, done in place

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. If you are dealing with a chipped rim or side and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Welbourn and across Lincolnshire.

Common questions in Welbourn

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Typically. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Related advice

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Welbourn

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

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Welbourn

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What affects the price in Welbourn

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Details of any past repairs

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
