Bath repair near Norton Lees

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Bath repair in Norton Lees without replacing anything

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you’re dealing with an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Repairing versus replacing in Norton Lees

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One price list for the whole UK

Landlords, agents and businesses in Norton Lees

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Norton Lees questions

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Norton Lees.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Norton Lees, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
