Bath repair near Moreton

Bath repair in Moreton without replacing anything

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can generally use the bath the next day. If you are dealing with a chipped rim or side and a chip where the taps sit, we can generally put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Moreton. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How it works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Have new chips seen to early

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

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.
