Bath repair for Adlington homes

How we handle bath repair in Adlington

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are chips caused by builders and cracks in an acrylic bath.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Adlington questions

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you cover Adlington?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Adlington. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Lancashire.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Adlington. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Adlington. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Common problems we fix in Adlington

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A chipped rim or side

How to compare quotes

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Adlington

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
