About our bath repair in Mollington

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We’re often asked to fix chips under the taps and rusty patches near the plughole, in whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Bath enamel chip by the waste, filled and colour matched (before and after)

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  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. 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 if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • 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)

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

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Mollington, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Questions from Mollington

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Will the repair show?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Mollington is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Usually within a day, depending on the repair.

Signs you need bath repair in Mollington

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

Before you book anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business
