Bath repair for Bretton homes

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Bath repair in Bretton, done in place

We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are deep scratches in acrylic and rust spots around the plughole.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Bretton

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Flintshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A steel bath rusted through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What we are called out for in Bretton

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Chips on the rim or sides

Before booking anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Composite and resin

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the area is dry
