Bath repair near Middleton

Do you need bath repair in Middleton?

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Chips under the taps
  • Impact holes in acrylic

Our hiring checklist

Bath repair at your home in Middleton

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, generally in a single visit. If you are dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and chips along the edge of the bath, we can normally put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Middleton

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Middleton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, 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. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Questions from Middleton

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Do you cover the entire of Lancashire?

The whole UK, including all of Lancashire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

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.

Should you replace it?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
