Bath repair at your home in Duckington

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, typically in a single visit. If you’re dealing with a chip where the taps sit and chips along the edge of the bath, we can normally put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Duckington

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Duckington questions

Does someone need to be in?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

Should you replace it?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Related advice

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

When to call us in Duckington

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips under the taps
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A chipped rim or side

Questions to ask before you book

  • What preparation is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

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.
