Signs you need bath repair in Roe End

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Holes from dropped items

Bath repair in Roe End without replacing anything

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about scratches you can feel with a fingernail and snagging damage from a refit.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Roe End. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs

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. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace in Roe End?

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. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Your questions about bath repair in Roe End

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Roe End.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Will the repair last?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

If you are in Roe End and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
