Our bath repair service in HU19

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We are often asked to fix rusty patches near the plughole and chips on the rim or sides, in pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What’s near Withernsea

Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Withernsea Primary School, Church of St Nicholas and Withernsea High School, among other places. Nearby you’ll also find Withernsea Hospital (within half a mile north-west) and Withernsea Lighthouse Museum (less than half a mile north-west).

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairing versus replacing

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit.

Questions to ask before booking

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How soon you can use it again

What affects the price in HU19

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For a price in HU19, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we’re called out for in HU19

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Your questions about bath repair in HU19

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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