What we are called out for in Allerton

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

The things customers generally mention when they call are:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Chips caused by builders

Questions to ask before you book

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How long it needs to cure

Bath repair in Allerton without replacing anything

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. If you are dealing with rust by the waste and overflow and a cracked acrylic bath, we can help.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Your questions about bath repair in Allerton

Is a bath repair permanent?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Allerton?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Honest limits

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

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Allerton

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Pressed steel enamel

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Allerton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Allerton. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
