Common questions in Woodborough

Do you work in Woodborough?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Woodborough for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What does bath repair cost?

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Signs you need bath repair in Woodborough

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Chips under the taps
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

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.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Read our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Store metal items away from the bath

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Honest limits

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

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

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