Bath repair in Paradise

About our bath repair in Paradise

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. Typical jobs include scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips caused by builders, across cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Paradise: your questions answered

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

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 access behind the panel is important.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Should you replace it?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Paradise

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Signs you need bath repair in Paradise

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Look out for these signs:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

Comparing quotes

  • How the colour is matched
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Have new chips seen to early

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Composite and resin

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

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Paradise, and we will reply with a fixed price.
