Bath repair near Witcham

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

When to call us in Witcham

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Chips under the taps
  • Rust spots around the plughole

Before you book anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

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

What we work on

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Questions from Witcham

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Will the repair last?

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

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you cover Witcham?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Witcham and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

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 will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Witcham. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
