When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Lowbands

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

Bath repair in Lowbands, done in place

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We’re often asked to fix a kit repair that didn’t last and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, in whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.

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

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Common problems we fix in Lowbands

A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.

Common reasons people in Lowbands contact us include:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Chips under the taps

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Lowbands. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Common questions in Lowbands

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is a bath repair durable?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

Do I have to be there?

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

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

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 reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lowbands

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lowbands use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
