Bath repair near Corney

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Corney. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

About our bath repair in Corney

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are holes from dropped items and chips along the edge of the bath.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common problems we fix in Corney

A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until it cracks.

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

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before you book

Common questions in Corney

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

How long before I can use the bath?

Usually within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

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.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you come to Corney?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Corney from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

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

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

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

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Why repair rather than replace?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Read our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
