Book bath repair in Cross Hills

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Bath repair in Cross Hills, done in place

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Typical jobs include a chipped rim or side and impact holes in acrylic, in pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Your questions about bath repair in Cross Hills

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Generally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Common problems we fix in Cross Hills

A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Questions to ask before you book

  • What preparation is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Cross Hills, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
