Should you replace it?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Your questions about bath repair in Glasson

How long does the repair take to cure?

Typically the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will the repair last?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

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

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

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

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

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Glasson and the rest of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Will it make a mess?

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Don’t 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.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Glasson

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel

What affects the price in Glasson

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CA7 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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