Bath repair for Jericho homes

About our bath repair in Jericho

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, generally in a single visit. We’re often asked to fix chips along the edge of the bath and rust by the waste and overflow, across acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A steel bath rusted through

Questions from Jericho

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you cover Jericho?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Jericho and the rest of Bury. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Normally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Will the repair show?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What affects the price in Jericho

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace in Jericho?

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 a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
