Bath repair for Dalton Piercy homes

Bath repair at your home in Dalton Piercy

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. We work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are cracks in an acrylic bath and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Don’t 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.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures 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.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Your questions about bath repair in Dalton Piercy

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is my repair covered?

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

Do you cover the whole of County Durham?

Everywhere in the UK, Dalton Piercy included. Travel is included in the price.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Dalton Piercy

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace in Dalton Piercy?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
