Questions from Belah

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.

Do you come to Belah?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Belah and the rest of Cumbria. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Repair or replace in Belah?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Can I fix it myself?

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 typically cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage

Landlords, agents and businesses in Belah

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
