Repair or replace in Earlsheaton?

How we handle bath repair in Earlsheaton

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with rust spots around the plughole and deep scratches in acrylic, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

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 is the part we put right.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t 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.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

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

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

Do you need bath repair in Earlsheaton?

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

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

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

10 questions to ask before you book

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
