How we handle bath repair in Winston

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Whether it’s rusty patches near the plughole and snagging damage from a refit, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours.

  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 mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  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 day after.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For a price in Winston, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When to call us in Winston

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
