Repairs by material

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.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Signs you need bath repair in White Roding

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Chips caused by builders

Common questions in White Roding

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in White Roding.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How much does bath repair cost in White Roding?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

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