A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected.

Repair or replace in Padgate?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Take a look at our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

What a repair cannot fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.

  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. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Padgate use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we’re called out for in Padgate

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

The things clients usually mention when they call include:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How the colour is matched
  • What aftercare is recommended

10 questions to ask before you book

Padgate: your questions answered

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
