Bath repair in Lockington without replacing anything

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the next day. We work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are rusty patches near the plughole and a kit repair that didn’t last.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How the visit works

There is 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. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for 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’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

What affects the price in Lockington

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Lockington. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your YO25 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lockington as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

FAQs for Lockington

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you cover Lockington?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Lockington from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Usually the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

When to call us in Lockington

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Holes from dropped items
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
