Bath and surface repairs in G74

Our bath repair service in G74

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or sides and chips caused by builders, across whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

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. We match both the colour and the shine.
5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

What you’ll pay

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

• Give the bath a quick rinse after use
• Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
• Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
• Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

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.

What affects the price in G74

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

• Access to the area
• Doing more than one item at once
• The type of damage
• Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

• Any details about the material
• A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
• Natural light rather than flash
• Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in G74, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
