Bath repair for Feniscowles homes

How we handle bath repair in Feniscowles

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. You can typically use the bath the following day. Common call-outs are for an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips under the taps, in acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When to call us in Feniscowles

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Chips caused by builders
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • When it can be used again
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

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.

Repairing versus replacing in Feniscowles

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Feniscowles. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

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

Materials we repair

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

Your questions about bath repair in Feniscowles

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Feniscowles?

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 with your BB2 postcode.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is a bath repair permanent?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Blackburn with Darwen and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
