Repairing versus replacing in Rawdon

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Rawdon. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No need to remove anything
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How we handle bath repair in Rawdon

We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are cracks in an acrylic bath and a kit repair that didn’t last.

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

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

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 it pays to deal with it early.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Honest limits

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

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

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

Rawdon: your questions answered

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally the next 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 leave the room clean.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rawdon use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
