Bath repair for Dinckley homes

Bath repair in Dinckley without replacing anything

Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, typically in a single visit. We’re frequently asked to fix scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips caused by builders, in roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.

Why repair rather than replace?

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Questions from Dinckley

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Dinckley and the rest of Lancashire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dinckley

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

What we’re called out for in Dinckley

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Chips under the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How your room will be protected
  • How the colour is matched
