Bath repair near Farley

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Bath repair in Farley, done in place

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and scuffs and scratches in the surface, across roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, 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, generally the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

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.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Do you need bath repair in Farley?

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How the room is protected while they work

FAQs for Farley

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Farley and the rest of Shropshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you work in Farley?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Farley. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Repair or replace in Farley?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Farley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
