Bath repair for Pulley homes

Bath repair in Pulley, done in place

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are damage beneath the taps and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pulley as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

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.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Pulley: your questions answered

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

When can I have a bath again?

Most baths can be used the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will the repair last?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

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

Materials we work on in Pulley

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

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Signs you need bath repair in Pulley

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • If travel is included in the price
  • When it can be used again
