How we handle bath repair in Cudworth

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for a kit repair that didn’t last and cracks in an acrylic bath, across pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Cudworth as everywhere else we work.

Should you replace it?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Cudworth questions

How much does bath repair cost in Cudworth?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you cover the entire of Barnsley?

Across the UK, so Cudworth is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

When can I have a bath again?

Typically the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

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

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cudworth. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Cudworth, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Common problems we fix in Cudworth

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Chips caused by builders
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
