Common problems we fix in Out Rawcliffe

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Impact holes in acrylic

How to compare quotes

Bath repair in Out Rawcliffe, done in place

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a cracked acrylic bath.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Out Rawcliffe and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Out Rawcliffe: your questions answered

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you cover the whole of Lancashire?

Across the UK, and that includes Out Rawcliffe. Prices don’t change with location.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.

Advice

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
