Bath repair in Crick without replacing anything

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected.

Repairing versus replacing in Crick

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we’re called out for in Crick

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Common reasons people in Crick contact us are:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Chips on the rim or sides

How to compare quotes

Your questions about bath repair in Crick

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Crick is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Crick

If you manage property in Crick, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crick use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs

For a price in Crick, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
