What we are called out for in Crosspool

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Look out for these signs:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before you book

Bath repair in Crosspool, done in place

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 the bath does not move. Typical jobs include rusty patches near the plughole and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, in whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A steel bath rusted through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Everything repaired in place

Questions from Crosspool

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Sheffield. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Crosspool.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

Will the repair show?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

What affects the price in Crosspool

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

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.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
