Bath repair for Burlton homes

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Burlton. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath

Most clients in Burlton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Bath repair at your home in Burlton

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Typical jobs include chips caused by builders and a hole punched through by something heavy, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Burlton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  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. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Chips caused by builders
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

FAQs for Burlton

When can I have a bath again?

Generally within a day, depending on the repair.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Do you cover the entire of Shropshire?

Across the UK, and that includes Burlton. Prices do not change with location.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Is a bath repair durable?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Do you come to Burlton?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Burlton and the rest of Shropshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Burlton.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

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

Materials we work on in Burlton

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Read our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Can I fix it myself?

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 isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
