Bath repair in Whitehill

Bath repair at your home in Whitehill

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We are often asked to fix scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips along the edge of the bath, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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 photos.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Questions from Whitehill

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

How much does bath repair cost in Whitehill?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Signs you need bath repair in Whitehill

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Chips on the rim or sides

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What prep work is covered
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What protection goes down before work starts

What affects the price in Whitehill

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

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.
