Bath repair in Great Strickland

Bath repair in Great Strickland, done in place

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you are dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and a chipped rim or side, we can generally put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Questions from Great Strickland

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

How invisible is a bath repair?

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

How do I get a price for bath repair in Great Strickland?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your CA10 postcode.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Landlord and trade work in Great Strickland

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairing versus replacing in Great Strickland

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

Signs you need bath repair in Great Strickland

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

How to compare quotes

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
