Bath repair in Wortwell

Bath repair in Wortwell 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 following day. Common call-outs are for scuffs and scratches in the surface and a chip where the taps sit, in pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace in Wortwell?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

What affects the price in Wortwell

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Wortwell. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses

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

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your IP20 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Your questions about bath repair in Wortwell

Do you cover Wortwell?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Wortwell for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

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.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

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

Signs you need bath repair in Wortwell

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Chips under the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How changes to the job are handled

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

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