Repairing versus replacing in Cloughton

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are

Read our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  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 day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cloughton

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

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

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Cloughton questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are there extra charges for Cloughton?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Cloughton. Prices do not change with location.

Signs you need bath repair in Cloughton

Rust normally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A chipped rim or side

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Cloughton

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
