Repairing versus replacing in Mawthorpe

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Everything repaired in place

Read our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. 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.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Mawthorpe. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Mawthorpe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath

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 send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Do you need bath repair in Mawthorpe?

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Rust spots around the plughole

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
