How we handle bath repair in Blurton

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the rim or sides and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

FAQs for Blurton

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

When can I have a bath again?

Generally the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Common problems we fix in Blurton

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Damage beneath the taps

10 questions to ask before booking

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Blurton. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repairing versus replacing in Blurton

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Blurton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
