Bath repair near Zouch

Zouch: your questions answered

Are there extra charges for Zouch?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Does someone need to be in?

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

How long before I can use the bath?

Generally the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Bath repair in Zouch without replacing anything

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and cracks in an acrylic bath.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

Landlord and trade work in Zouch

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
