How we handle bath repair in Bolton Houses

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. Whether it’s hairline or through cracks in acrylic and damage beneath the taps, we can help, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bolton Houses

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

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Signs you need bath repair in Bolton Houses

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Damage beneath the taps

Before you book anyone

  • How to look after the finish
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Bolton Houses

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bolton Houses. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Bolton Houses questions

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you cover the entire of Lancashire?

All of Lancashire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Lancashire.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

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 is what we repair.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bolton Houses. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  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 day after.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
