Repairing versus replacing in Deri

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Bath repair in Deri without replacing anything

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We regularly repair acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, 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 day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Questions from Deri

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will the repair last?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Deri?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your CF81 postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Composite and resin

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

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

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

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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 usually the cheaper route.

What affects the price in Deri

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Deri. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size

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