Bath repair near Craigavon

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Bath repair at your home in Craigavon

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. If you are dealing with chips caused by builders and a chip where the taps sit, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss 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. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Do you need bath repair in Craigavon?

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Look out for these signs:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Damage beneath the taps

Before you book anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Aftercare advice
  • When it can be used again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Questions from Craigavon

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Do you cover the entire of Craigavon?

Across the UK, so Craigavon is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you cover Craigavon?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Craigavon. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

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

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Repairing versus replacing in Craigavon

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
