What we’re called out for in Oulton

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

The things clients normally mention when they call are:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Chips under the taps
  • Snagging damage from a refit

FAQs for Oulton

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Are there extra charges for Oulton?

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

How long does the repair take to cure?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often 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.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oulton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Repair or replace in Oulton?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Oulton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Oulton customers choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
