FAQs for Minsterley

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

Do you come to Minsterley?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Minsterley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

When can I have a bath again?

Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

About our bath repair in Minsterley

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. Common call-outs are for rust by the waste and overflow and a chip where the taps sit, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Related advice

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SY5 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Have new chips seen to early

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

What we are called out for in Minsterley

Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

People usually call us after spotting one of these:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Chips caused by builders

Before you book anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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.
