Bath repair for Parkgate homes

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Bath repair at your home in Parkgate

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the day after. Whether it’s impact holes in acrylic and deep scratches in acrylic, we can help, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cheshire West and Chester.

What affects the price in Parkgate

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Parkgate. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Chips caused by builders

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

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.

Parkgate: your questions answered

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

Do you cover Parkgate?

We do. We send a technician to Parkgate for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How soon can you come?

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

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will the repair last?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Parkgate

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cheshire West and Chester and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
