What we are called out for in Gawthorpe Green

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Common questions in Gawthorpe Green

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

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?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it

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

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
