Bath repair at your home in Owrtyn

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Typical jobs include an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and rust by the waste and overflow, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Owrtyn as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Repair or replace: which is better?

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No need to remove anything

Read our prices page or bath cost comparison.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
