About our bath repair in Bradeley

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in a single visit. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are chips under the taps and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What we’re called out for in Bradeley

Rust normally 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.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • Aftercare advice
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

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

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bradeley use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

What affects the price in Bradeley

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire bath

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Bradeley: your questions answered

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Bradeley.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Do you come to Bradeley?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Bradeley. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

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.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
