Aftercare tips

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

  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

What bath repair costs

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you’re in Wormald Green and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Common questions in Wormald Green

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

How long does the repair take to cure?

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

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you cover Wormald Green?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Wormald Green from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Repair or replace in Wormald Green?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Wormald Green. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.

  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. 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. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Wormald Green, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

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

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Wormald Green

Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Holes from dropped items
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Snagging damage from a refit

  • What preparation is included
  • How to care for the finish
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
