Bath repair for Grangetown homes

Bath repair at your home in Grangetown

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the next day. Common call-outs are for chips under the taps and a kit repair that didn’t last, in whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Grangetown and across Redcar and Cleveland.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

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

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Grangetown. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, 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 following day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Grangetown, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Common problems we fix in Grangetown

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before you book

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
