Bath repair at your home in Roughley

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or sides and scuffs and scratches in the surface.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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

Honest limits

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

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in Roughley

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. 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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One price list for the whole UK

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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

When to call us in Roughley

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, 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.

Common reasons people in Roughley contact us are:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What prep work is covered
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

Roughley questions

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Are there extra charges for Roughley?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

For a price in Roughley, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
