How we handle bath repair in Eccleshall

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Whether it’s chips under the taps and deep scratches in acrylic, we can generally put it right, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Your questions about bath repair in Eccleshall

Will you leave a mess?

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

Will I be able to see the repair?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.

Do you cover Eccleshall?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Eccleshall for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Will the repair last?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Eccleshall use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Do you need bath repair in Eccleshall?

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

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

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Chips under the taps

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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