Bath repair in Hollinsclough

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

About our bath repair in Hollinsclough

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can usually bathe again the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are rust by the waste and overflow and deep scratches in acrylic.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

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, avoiding abrasives.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  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. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How we price bath repair

Repairs 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
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Do you need bath repair in Hollinsclough?

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Damage beneath the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What preparation is included
  • How the colour is matched
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

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.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Hollinsclough, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
