What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Rust spots around the plughole

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in Coatham Mundeville?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Coatham Mundeville, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Acrylic

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

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Coatham Mundeville

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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

Coatham Mundeville questions

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How much does bath repair cost in Coatham Mundeville?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you cover the whole of Darlington?

We cover the entire UK, including Coatham Mundeville and the rest of Darlington. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
