What we are called out for in Wineham

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

The things clients typically mention when they call include:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A chip where the taps sit

Bath repair in Wineham without replacing anything

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. If you’re dealing with scuffs and scratches in the surface and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Wineham: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

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

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  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. Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

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

Advice

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Repairing versus replacing in Wineham

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Typically it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

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

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

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