Bath repair at your home in Middleton

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Typical jobs include holes from dropped items and deep scratches in acrylic, in whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • 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
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

Do you need bath repair in Middleton?

A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why Middleton clients choose us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Your questions about bath repair in Middleton

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Can you redo an old repair?

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

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Middleton

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
