Bath repair in Wrafton

Bath repair in Wrafton without replacing anything

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for scuffs and scratches in the surface and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, in cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

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

Materials we work on in Wrafton

Should you replace it?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Wrafton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Landlord and trade work in Wrafton

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wrafton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

When to call us in Wrafton

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Snagging damage from a refit

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

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.

Your questions about bath repair in Wrafton

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will the repair last?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

What about rust by the waste?

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

How much does bath repair cost in Wrafton?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EX33 postcode.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
