Bath repair near Moorside

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Moorside. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Moorside. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Bath repair in Moorside, done in place

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Common call-outs are for chips under the taps and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, across acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Common questions in Moorside

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

Is a bath repair durable?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

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.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Moorside?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

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.

What we are called out for in Moorside

Rust generally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A chipped rim or side

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
