Book bath repair in Haggate

For landlords and businesses

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.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Haggate use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

How we handle bath repair in Haggate

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can typically bathe again the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Typical jobs include a cracked acrylic bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, across acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Haggate, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Common problems we fix in Haggate

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Common reasons people in Haggate contact us include:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Comparing quotes

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  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. Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Questions from Haggate

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Normally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Haggate. Prices don’t change with location.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Lancashire.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Usually the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
