How we handle bath repair in Fenton

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Common call-outs are for a chip where the taps sit and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, across acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Questions from Fenton

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally within a day, depending on the repair.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Fenton. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Fenton, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlord and trade work in Fenton

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Signs you need bath repair in Fenton

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Fenton

  • Acrylic

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  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. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Fenton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
