Bath repair in Cabal

FAQs for Cabal

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

What information do you need?

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

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Bath repair at your home in Cabal

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. Whether it’s a chip where the taps sit and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, 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 tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

When to call us in Cabal

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

The things customers typically mention when they call include:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What prep work is covered
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place
