Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. 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. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Common problems we fix in Cadishead

A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

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’s what we repair.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in Cadishead

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.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What affects the price in Cadishead

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Cadishead. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Are there extra charges for Cadishead?

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

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

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

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
