About our bath repair in Crackley

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are rust by the waste and overflow and snagging damage from a refit.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

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

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repairing versus replacing in Crackley

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts 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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Crackley

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you cover Crackley?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Crackley. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

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

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Signs you need bath repair in Crackley

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips caused by builders
