What we are called out for in Maddiston

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

See our prices page and bath cost comparison.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Maddiston. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

For a price in Maddiston, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

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.

FAQs for Maddiston

Will there be a smell?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Is a bath repair durable?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How much does bath repair cost in Maddiston?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Are there extra charges for Maddiston?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What we cannot put right

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

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

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