Bath repair in Ewood Bridge

About our bath repair in Ewood Bridge

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Whether it’s an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips on the rim or sides, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

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.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Should you replace it?

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. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A steel bath rusted through

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Do you need bath repair in Ewood Bridge?

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
