Need bath repair in Ormskirk?

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Bath repair at your home in Ormskirk

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and chips on the rim or sides.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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.

What affects the price in Ormskirk

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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

Common questions in Ormskirk

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ormskirk

Letting agents often send us pictures 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.

For anyone letting property in or around Ormskirk, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Common problems we fix in Ormskirk

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

Before booking anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before you book

Should you replace it?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
