How bath repair works in SK3

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We are frequently asked to fix damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, across roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, 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, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Landlord and trade work in SK3

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in SK3 as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Why repair rather than replace?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is.

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Common problems we fix in SK3

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

Questions from SK3

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Is a bath repair permanent?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you come to SK3?

We do. We send a technician to SK3 for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
