About our bath repair in Aston le Walls

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you’re dealing with impact holes in acrylic and chips caused by builders, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Aston le Walls use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

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

Materials we work on in Aston le Walls

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

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Usually it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
