Bath repair in Penwortham

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  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, generally the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Advice

Bath repair at your home in Penwortham

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can usually bathe again the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a hole punched through by something heavy and chips on the rim or sides.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Penwortham and across Lancashire.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work

A few things move the price: 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

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you are in Penwortham and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

FAQs for Penwortham

Which areas do you work in?

All of Lancashire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you cover Penwortham?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Penwortham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No extra charge for your area

Common problems we fix in Penwortham

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
