Bath repair in Quatford without replacing anything

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to 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. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most often call us about a kit repair that didn’t last and a chip where the taps sit.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Questions from Quatford

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Do you work in Quatford?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Quatford from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do I have to be there?

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

How invisible is a bath repair?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Common problems we fix in Quatford

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Chips caused by builders

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Quatford

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

If you manage property in Quatford, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  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

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Most clients in Quatford get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
