Bath repair for Alltyblacca homes

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

About our bath repair in Alltyblacca

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are cracks in an acrylic bath and holes from dropped items.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

When to call us in Alltyblacca

A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • When it can be used again
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
