Bath repair near Dutton

Bath repair at your home in Dutton

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We’re frequently asked to fix a chipped rim or side and rust by the waste and overflow, across roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

FAQs for Dutton

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is my repair covered?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

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

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Signs you need bath repair in Dutton

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the colour is matched
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
