Bath repair in Gillmoss

Repair or replace in Gillmoss?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Bath repair at your home in Gillmoss

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Common call-outs are for a chip where the taps sit and rusty patches near the plughole, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.

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

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.

  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. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Do you need bath repair in Gillmoss?

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

The things clients usually mention when they call include:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What preparation is included

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Gillmoss: your questions answered

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you work in Gillmoss?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Gillmoss and the rest of Liverpool. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How much does bath repair cost in Gillmoss?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Liverpool. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

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

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
