Repair or replace in Wendens Ambo?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Same prices wherever you are

About our bath repair in Wendens Ambo

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We are frequently asked to fix impact holes in acrylic and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, in acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Your questions about bath repair in Wendens Ambo

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Common problems we fix in Wendens Ambo

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A chip where the taps sit

Questions to ask before booking

  • How to care for the finish
  • How your room will be protected
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

10 questions to ask before booking

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

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

Materials we work on in Wendens Ambo

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What affects the price in Wendens Ambo

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

We price from photos so you do not 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.
