About our bath repair in Salwarpe

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Common call-outs are for cracks in an acrylic bath and chips under the taps, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Should you replace it?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A steel bath rusted through

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Salwarpe: your questions answered

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Will the repair last?

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

When to call us in Salwarpe

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Look out for these signs:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before booking

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

For a price in Salwarpe, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
