Bath repair near Whitwell Street

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Whitwell Street

How we handle bath repair in Whitwell Street

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We’re frequently asked to fix impact holes in acrylic and cracks in an acrylic bath, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Do you need bath repair in Whitwell Street?

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Chips under the taps
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Before booking anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Common questions in Whitwell Street

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

How much does bath repair cost in Whitwell Street?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Will I be able to see the repair?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whitwell Street

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
