Bath repair for Lowther homes

Bath repair at your home in Lowther

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are a cracked acrylic bath and rust by the waste and overflow.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common problems we fix in Lowther

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Impact holes in acrylic

Our hiring checklist

Common questions in Lowther

Are there extra charges for Lowther?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

How much does bath repair cost in Lowther?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will the repair show?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Will the repair last?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Lowther.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

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

What we work on

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

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

If you’re in Lowther and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Landlord and trade work in Lowther

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

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