Bath repair for Wormingford homes

Bath repair in Wormingford without replacing anything

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the day after. Whether it’s a kit repair that didn’t last and impact holes in acrylic, we can normally put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Common questions in Wormingford

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Signs you need bath repair in Wormingford

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Common reasons people in Wormingford contact us are:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Holes from dropped items

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

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 is what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Should you replace it?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
