Bath repair for Rawnsley homes

What affects the price in Rawnsley

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

About our bath repair in Rawnsley

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a chipped rim or side and a cracked acrylic bath.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Do you need bath repair in Rawnsley?

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Questions to ask before you book

  • When it can be used again
  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Rawnsley

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Rawnsley: your questions answered

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rawnsley

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
