Bath repair for Much Hoole homes

Bath repair in Much Hoole without replacing anything

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the rim or sides and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Much Hoole questions

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How much does bath repair cost in Much Hoole?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can you quote from photos?

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

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos 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.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Much Hoole as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

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 will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What your bath is made of matters

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 is what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  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 tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
