How we handle bath repair in Burgh-by-Sands

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are a hole punched through by something heavy and rust by the waste and overflow.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

FAQs for Burgh-by-Sands

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is a bath repair permanent?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

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

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace in Burgh-by-Sands?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow two to three hours for most chips.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  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, typically the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

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