Bath repair in Burtonwood without replacing anything

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are chips along the edge of the bath and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What affects the price in Burtonwood

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Signs you need bath repair in Burtonwood

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Damage beneath the taps

Comparing quotes

  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How to look after the finish

Our hiring checklist

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

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

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repairing versus replacing in Burtonwood

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Burtonwood. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One price list for the whole UK

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Common questions in Burtonwood

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

When can you do it?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
