Repairing versus replacing in Horsehay

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

How we handle bath repair in Horsehay

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are rust by the waste and overflow and holes from dropped items.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common questions in Horsehay

Will the repair last?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Horsehay and the rest of Telford and Wrekin. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How soon can you come?

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

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Common problems we fix in Horsehay

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  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. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
