Bath repair near Davenport

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Bath repair in Davenport without replacing anything

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can typically bathe again the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. If you are dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and a cracked acrylic bath, we can normally put it right, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

When to call us in Davenport

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Questions to ask before you book

  • How to look after the finish
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about bath repair in Davenport

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you cover the entire of Stockport?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Davenport. Prices don’t change with location.

How long before I can use the bath?

Most baths can be used the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Davenport. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Davenport

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Davenport use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repair or replace in Davenport?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Why Davenport clients choose us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No extra charge for your area
  • No need to remove anything
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
