Bath repair for Burnrigg homes

Bath repair at your home in Burnrigg

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. You can usually use the bath the next day. If you are dealing with chips caused by builders and a chipped rim or side, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

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.

FAQs for Burnrigg

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How much does bath repair cost in Burnrigg?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

What we’re called out for in Burnrigg

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We leave the room as we found it
