Landlord and trade work in Fuller's Moor

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Bath repair in Fuller's Moor, done in place

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. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Typical jobs include rusty patches near the plughole and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Do you need bath repair in Fuller's Moor?

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

Our hiring checklist

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Fuller's Moor

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

FAQs for Fuller's Moor

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is a bath repair permanent?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

Are there extra charges for Fuller's Moor?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Composite and resin

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

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
