Bath Repair across Redcar and Cleveland

Bath repair at your home in Redcar and Cleveland

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are a kit repair that didn’t last and impact holes in acrylic.

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Common problems we fix in Redcar and Cleveland

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Chips caused by builders
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, 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 many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Questions from Redcar and Cleveland

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is a bath repair durable?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
