Signs you need bath repair in Paddlesworth

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Normally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Read our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What affects the price in Paddlesworth

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

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

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  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. 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. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Paddlesworth questions

Is it messy?

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

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How much does bath repair cost in Paddlesworth?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
