Bath repair in Rowrah, done in place

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Typical jobs include holes from dropped items and deep scratches in acrylic, across roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage

Common questions in Rowrah

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Do you come to Rowrah?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Rowrah from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What areas do you cover?

All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will the repair show?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.

Will the repair last?

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

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.

What we are called out for in Rowrah

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Common reasons people in Rowrah contact us include:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Before booking anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

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