Bath repair for Lurgan homes

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

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

Materials we repair

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

Bath repair in Lurgan without replacing anything

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We’re often asked to fix scratches you can feel with a fingernail and impact holes in acrylic, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Craigavon.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Landlord and trade work in Lurgan

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Your questions about bath repair in Lurgan

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Is a bath repair permanent?

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

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is my repair covered?

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

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

How invisible is a bath repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area

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.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Repairing versus replacing in Lurgan

Replacing a fitted bath typically means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What we’re called out for in Lurgan

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
