Trusted bath repair in Cleland

Landlord and trade work in Cleland

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cleland use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

About our bath repair in Cleland

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the next day. If you are dealing with a chip where the taps sit and a cracked acrylic bath, we can typically put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. 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.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your ML1 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Cleland: your questions answered

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How long before I can use the bath?

Generally the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

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

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

What affects the price in Cleland

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • 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 we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Repair or replace: which is better?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Usually it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colour-matched on site

See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
