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

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Clitheroe. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Clitheroe

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  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

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Repairing versus replacing in Clitheroe

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Questions from Clitheroe

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are there extra charges for Clitheroe?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Clitheroe?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
