Bath repair in Lower Midway, done in place

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can typically bathe again the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you are dealing with deep scratches in acrylic and a cracked acrylic bath, we can help, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lower Midway use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Do you need bath repair in Lower Midway?

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

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Common questions in Lower Midway

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you cover Lower Midway?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Lower Midway from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Do you cover the entire of Derbyshire?

The entire UK, including all of Derbyshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

When can I have a bath again?

Usually within a day, depending on the repair.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
