About our bath repair in Old Hall Street
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you are dealing with chips caused by builders and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can typically put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

What else we do in Old Hall Street
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Old Hall Street
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Old Hall Street as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Common problems we fix in Old Hall Street
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips on the rim or sides
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Impact holes in acrylic
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Aftercare advice

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.
Advice
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace in Old Hall Street?
Replacing a fitted bath typically means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. 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.
