Bath repair near Lane End

Bath repair in Lane End, done in place

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s rusty patches near the plughole and chips caused by builders, we can help.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Lane End and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Why repair rather than replace?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We leave the room as we found it

Do you need bath repair in Lane End?

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Questions to ask before booking

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Can I fix it myself?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Questions from Lane End

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.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How much does bath repair cost in Lane End?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your WA3 postcode.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

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

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

How invisible is a bath repair?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

When can I have a bath again?

Typically within a day, depending on the repair.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Lane End

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

If you manage property in Lane End, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  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. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price
