Trusted bath repair in Anlaby

Bath repair in Anlaby, done in place

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. Whether it’s chips caused by builders and damage beneath the taps, we can normally put it right, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not 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.

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 will not last.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Anlaby

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

What we are called out for in Anlaby

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Chips under the taps
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A cracked acrylic bath

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What preparation is included

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Anlaby as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Your questions about bath repair in Anlaby

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

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

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your HU10 postcode.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

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

When can I have a bath again?

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

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
