Bath repair in High Ferry, done in place

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Whether it’s a kit repair that didn’t last and rusty patches near the plughole, we can normally put it right.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in High Ferry, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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 fails, we can still put it right.

Common questions in High Ferry

Will the repair last?

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

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

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

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

Materials we work on in High Ferry

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Pressed steel enamel

When to call us in High Ferry

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips under the taps
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Snagging damage from a refit

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How to care for the finish
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in High Ferry

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why High Ferry clients choose us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No need to remove anything

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

Aftercare tips

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

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
