Bath repair in Limavady

Repair or replace in Limavady?

Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

About our bath repair in Limavady

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, generally in a single visit. We work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are holes from dropped items and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Limavady and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  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. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

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

Materials we work on in Limavady

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

If you are 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.

FAQs for Limavady

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Limavady and the rest of Limavady. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

When can I have a bath again?

Generally the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

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 I be able to see the repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

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

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
