Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Bath repair in Rodley, done in place

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Whether it’s cracks in an acrylic bath and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Questions from Rodley

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Is a bath repair durable?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Rodley?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your GL14 postcode.

Repairing versus replacing in Rodley

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Signs you need bath repair in Rodley

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rodley use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.

  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. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your GL14 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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 generally the cheaper route.
