Book bath repair in West Tofts

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, 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, generally the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

How we handle bath repair in West Tofts

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Typical jobs include holes from dropped items and damage beneath the taps, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Questions from West Tofts

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

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

Is my repair covered?

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

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is a bath repair durable?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Typically within a day, depending on the repair.

What about rust by the waste?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Landlord and trade work in West Tofts

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. 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, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to West Tofts. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for West Tofts. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Repairing versus replacing in West Tofts

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
