Bath repair in Winwick

Do you need bath repair in Winwick?

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Look out for these signs:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • A chipped rim or side

10 questions to ask before booking

How we handle bath repair in Winwick

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and deep scratches in acrylic, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Repair or replace: which is better?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • No need to remove anything
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Most clients in Winwick get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures 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

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Questions from Winwick

Is a bath repair permanent?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Cambridgeshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Will I be able to see the repair?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
