About our bath repair in Mewith Head

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and impact holes in acrylic.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  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. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Mewith Head, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repairing versus replacing in Mewith Head

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Landlord and trade work in Mewith Head

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Mewith Head. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

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 reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

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

What we work on

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

When to call us in Mewith Head

Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

Before you book anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What preparation is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
