Bath repair at your home in Daleford

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about scuffs and scratches in the surface and rust spots around the plughole.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Daleford: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Are there extra charges for Daleford?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you cover Daleford?

We do. We send a technician to Daleford for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  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. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

When to call us in Daleford

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

The things customers generally mention when they call include:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A chipped rim or side
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

How to compare quotes

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Repair or replace in Daleford?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Daleford. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
