Bath repair in Wheatley Hills

How we handle bath repair in Wheatley Hills

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can usually bathe again the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about rust by the waste and overflow and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.

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

Questions from Wheatley Hills

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you cover Wheatley Hills?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Wheatley Hills for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Wheatley Hills. Prices don’t change with location.

Repairing versus replacing in Wheatley Hills

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Composite and resin

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

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DN1 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

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

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

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

Materials we repair

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

What we are called out for in Wheatley Hills

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • A chip where the taps sit
