Bath repair in Kirkby Lonsdale

Bath repair at your home in Kirkby Lonsdale

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are chips along the edge of the bath and a cracked acrylic bath.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LA6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos 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. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
