Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is 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 pictures.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Bath repair in Ollerton Fold, done in place

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about chips caused by builders and rust by the waste and overflow.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Ollerton Fold

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

Choosing a repair company

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

What affects the price in Ollerton Fold

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Ollerton Fold: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How much does bath repair cost in Ollerton Fold?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  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. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
