Bath repair at your home in Butterrow

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include deep scratches in acrylic and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Butterrow use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Butterrow: your questions answered

When can I have a bath again?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Are you accredited?

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

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 generally cheaper.

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.

Repair or replace in Butterrow?

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No extra charge for your area
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Take a look at our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Butterrow

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Butterrow, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
