Bath repair for Cusworth homes

FAQs for Cusworth

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Do you cover the whole of Doncaster?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Will I be able to see the repair?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.

Bath repair at your home in Cusworth

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you are dealing with scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a cracked acrylic bath, we can normally put it right, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Cusworth and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Rusty chip next to a bath plughole, before and after repair

What we are called out for in Cusworth

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cusworth

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cusworth use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire bath

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
