We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Bath repair at your home in Epworth

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. If you’re dealing with chips on the rim or sides and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can normally put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Common problems we fix in Epworth

Rust typically 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.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Damage beneath the taps

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How soon you can use it again
  • If travel is included in the price

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How we price bath repair

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

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Epworth

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Epworth: your questions answered

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you cover the whole of North Lincolnshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Epworth included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Epworth.

How long before I can use the bath?

Generally within a day, depending on the repair.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
