Bath repair in Ellerburn

Bath repair at your home in Ellerburn

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for holes from dropped items and chips along the edge of the bath, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, 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. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can

Can I fix it myself?

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

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we are called out for in Ellerburn

A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A chip where the taps sit

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the colour is matched
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Store metal items away from the bath

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Landlord and trade work in Ellerburn

For anyone letting property in or around Ellerburn, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

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

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

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