About our bath repair in Egremont

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped rim or side and rusty patches near the plughole.

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

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  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. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Repair or replace in Egremont?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We leave the room as we found it

For landlords and businesses

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

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Egremont as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Common questions in Egremont

Will the repair last?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Egremont, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

What we are called out for in Egremont

Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
