Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How we handle bath repair in Chapel Haddlesey

Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, usually in a single visit. Typical jobs include damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and chips under the taps, in pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

FAQs for Chapel Haddlesey

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

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

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlord and trade work in Chapel Haddlesey

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chapel Haddlesey as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

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

Materials we work on in Chapel Haddlesey

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

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
