Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our prices page or bath cost comparison.

What affects the price in Sandylands

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

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

Send pictures for a quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Common problems we fix in Sandylands

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips under the taps
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

What to look for in a quote

  • What preparation is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • When it can be used again
  • How the colour is matched

10 questions to ask before you book

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

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

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Rinse it down after each bath

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Common questions in Sandylands

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Do you cover the entire of Lancashire?

Everywhere in the UK, Sandylands included. There is no extra charge for travel.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Can landlords book you?

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

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
