Need bath repair in Morton-on-Swale?

Why repair rather than replace?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why Morton-on-Swale clients choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

About our bath repair in Morton-on-Swale

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. We work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about a chip where the taps sit and chips caused by builders.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

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

Choosing a repair company

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 photos.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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 build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

FAQs for Morton-on-Swale

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

When can I have a bath again?

Typically the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Will I be able to see the repair?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

Will the repair last?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
