Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Haughton customers choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

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

Signs you need bath repair in Haughton

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A chip where the taps sit

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about bath repair in Haughton

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Haughton. Prices do not change with location.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

Will the repair last?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Landlord and trade work in Haughton

For anyone letting property in or around Haughton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
