Our bath repair service in CA20

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 and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. We’re frequently asked to fix snagging damage from a refit and cracks in an acrylic bath, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  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 following day.

Landlord and trade work in CA20

Letting agents often send us photos 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 are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price covers travel

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

CA20 questions

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

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

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
