Bath repair in Norris Green, done in place

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are a chip where the taps sit and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.

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

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we 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.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Should you replace it?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Norris Green questions

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or 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 apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Related advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Norris Green

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

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.

Getting a price from photos

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you’re in Norris Green and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Common problems we fix in Norris Green

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
