Bath repair for Great Budworth homes

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Bath repair at your home in Great Budworth

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about holes from dropped items and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we can’t put right

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

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Great Budworth

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Take a look at our full price list and bath cost comparison.

What affects the price in Great Budworth

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Great Budworth, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Great Budworth questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Great Budworth.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Is a bath repair durable?

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

How much does bath repair cost in Great Budworth?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
