Bath repair near Bolton Percy

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How we handle bath repair in Bolton Percy

We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. Common call-outs are for chips along the edge of the bath and chips caused by builders, in whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Composite and resin

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

Your questions about bath repair in Bolton Percy

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Do you work in Bolton Percy?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Bolton Percy. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Bolton Percy. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your YO23 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
