Bath repair in Cantley

How we handle bath repair in Cantley

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Typical jobs include rust spots around the plughole and holes from dropped items, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cantley

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When to call us in Cantley

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Holes from dropped items

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cantley. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Repairing versus replacing in Cantley

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why Cantley customers choose us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Composite and resin

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

FAQs for Cantley

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
