What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How we handle bath repair in Clothall

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. If you are dealing with rust by the waste and overflow and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can help, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back

Most clients in Clothall get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repairing versus replacing in Clothall

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Common questions in Clothall

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Is a bath repair permanent?

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

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you need bath repair in Clothall?

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

Questions to ask before you book

  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How your room will be protected
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

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