How we handle bath repair in Causeway End

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are deep scratches in acrylic and chips along the edge of the bath.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  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. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Questions from Causeway End

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Will the repair last?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Common problems we fix in Causeway End

Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

Before booking anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before you book

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

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