Book bath repair in Bellerby

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Bath repair in Bellerby, done in place

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the following day. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about rust spots around the plughole and a kit repair that didn’t last.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Bellerby questions

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Will it make a mess?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you need bath repair in Bellerby?

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Bellerby customers choose us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One price list for the whole UK

See our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What affects the price in Bellerby

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bellerby. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
