Bath repair near Fowley Common

What we can’t put right

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

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Bath repair in Fowley Common without replacing anything

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a chip where the taps sit and holes from dropped items.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Questions from Fowley Common

Do you cover the whole of Warrington?

Everywhere in the UK, Fowley Common included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

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 replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
