About our bath repair in Moreton

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about chips along the edge of the bath and a kit repair that didn’t last.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When to call us in Moreton

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Your questions about bath repair in Moreton

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you come to Moreton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Moreton and the rest of Essex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a bath repair durable?

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

The process

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos 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.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
