Bath repair for Ingleby Arncliffe homes

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Bath repair at your home in Ingleby Arncliffe

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and holes from dropped items.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Your questions about bath repair in Ingleby Arncliffe

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Is a bath repair durable?

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

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Landlord and trade work in Ingleby Arncliffe

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ingleby Arncliffe as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

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

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  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. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Common problems we fix in Ingleby Arncliffe

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A chip where the taps sit

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Aftercare advice

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
