Repair or replace in Cronton?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

Rooms protected and left tidy
Every repair guaranteed for a year
Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
Honest advice, even when it means no job

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

Do you need bath repair in Cronton?

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

A chip where the taps sit
Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Scuffs and scratches in the surface
A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Cronton. The price depends on:

Unusual colours or finishes
Doing more than one item at once
How easy the damage is to reach
The type of damage

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

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

One picture of the entire bath
A clear, close picture of the problem area
Where you are, by postcode
Any earlier repairs or coatings

For a price in Cronton, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Cronton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common questions in Cronton

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your WA8 postcode.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are there extra charges for Cronton?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
