Trusted bath repair in Ince

Bath repair in Ince, done in place

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. Whether it’s damage beneath the taps and rust spots around the plughole, we can help, whatever the material.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Ince and across Cheshire West and Chester.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why Ince customers choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs

Landlord and trade work in Ince

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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.

How we price bath repair

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ince. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Signs you need bath repair in Ince

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • A cracked acrylic bath

10 questions to ask before booking

Ince: your questions answered

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will the repair show?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Will the repair last?

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

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

Honest limits

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

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
