Bath repair at your home in CB25

Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. Common call-outs are for an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and holes from dropped items, in acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Cost

Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Near you in Burwell

In Burwell, that means homes near The Fox pub, Church of St Mary the Virgin and Burwell Village College (Primary), among other places. Burwell’s nearest station is Soham station, roughly 4 miles north of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Newmarket Equine Hospital (3.9 miles south) and Swaffham Bullbeck (4.4 miles south). Not far away are Wicken Fen.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Signs you need bath repair

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in CB25, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Have new chips seen to early

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
