Common problems we fix in Oulton

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Chips caused by builders
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Rust spots around the plughole

Bath repair in Oulton without replacing anything

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a chip where the taps sit.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Oulton questions

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Are there extra charges for Oulton?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size

If you are in Oulton and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Oulton

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oulton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.

  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. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Composite and resin

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