Bath repair for Moreleigh homes

What affects the price in Moreleigh

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Bath repair in Moreleigh, done in place

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We’re frequently asked to fix a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips caused by builders, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel.

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

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Moreleigh. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No extra charge for your area

Questions from Moreleigh

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Typically. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you work in Moreleigh?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Moreleigh from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  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. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we 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 cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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