Bath repair near Booth

What affects the price in Booth

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Booth, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How we handle bath repair in Booth

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a kit repair that didn’t last, across whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repair or replace in Booth?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Read our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

When to call us in Booth

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

How to compare quotes

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Booth

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Booth as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

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

Questions from Booth

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you cover the whole of Staffordshire?

Across the UK, so Booth is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Will the price change on the day?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
