Bath repair for Boothen homes

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or 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. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Bath repair at your home in Boothen

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Whether it’s chips caused by builders and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Store metal items away from the bath

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Composite and resin

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

Repairing versus replacing in Boothen

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. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Boothen: your questions answered

Do you cover Boothen?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Boothen and the rest of Stoke-on-Trent. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Normally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How invisible is a bath repair?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in Boothen

For anyone letting property in or around Boothen, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Boothen as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Common problems we fix in Boothen

Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How to care for the finish
  • How the colour is matched
  • How the room is protected while they work

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
