Book bath repair in Burnlee

Why repair rather than replace?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Bath repair in Burnlee without replacing anything

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. If you are dealing with a chip where the taps sit and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can help, whatever the material.

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

Burnlee: your questions answered

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Burnlee is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Rinse it down after each bath

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

When to call us in Burnlee

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.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Chips caused by builders
  • A chip where the taps sit

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched
  • How the room is protected while they work

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  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

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Related advice

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

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

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Burnlee

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Burnlee. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
