- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Bath repair in Elmton without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. If you are dealing with a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips caused by builders, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. 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. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Your questions about bath repair in Elmton
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
How much does bath repair cost in Elmton?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Are there extra charges for Elmton?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Repairing versus replacing in Elmton
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
