Bath repair for Mossbrow homes

Common questions in Mossbrow

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Bath repair in Mossbrow without replacing anything

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. We work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about impact holes in acrylic and a cracked acrylic bath.

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

What affects the price in Mossbrow

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

A few things move the price: 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.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire bath

Most clients in Mossbrow get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Mossbrow

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Mossbrow clients choose us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

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

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Common problems we fix in Mossbrow

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Rust spots around the plughole
