Your questions about bath repair in Wortham

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Wortham included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

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.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How much does bath repair cost in Wortham?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Repair or replace in Wortham?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Usually it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Composite and resin

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

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wortham as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Aftercare tips

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

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Don’t 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.

When to call us in Wortham

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • A cracked acrylic bath

  • How the room is protected while they work
