FAQs for Cheddleton

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

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

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you come to Cheddleton?

We do. We send a technician to Cheddleton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

About our bath repair in Cheddleton

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. Whether it’s hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can typically put it right.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Have new chips seen to early

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repairing versus replacing in Cheddleton

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

What it costs 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 price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  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. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
