Trusted bath repair in Rawmarsh

How we price bath repair

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

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we handle bath repair in Rawmarsh

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Typical jobs include holes from dropped items and a chip where the taps sit, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

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

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

When to call us in Rawmarsh

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips under the taps
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Rawmarsh: your questions answered

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Are there extra charges for Rawmarsh?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Repair or replace in Rawmarsh?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. 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.
