How we handle bath repair in Scackleton

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. If you’re dealing with an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a cracked acrylic bath, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel alike.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Repair or replace in Scackleton?

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. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

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

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we’re called out for in Scackleton

  • Holes from dropped items
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A chip where the taps sit

Choosing a repair company

What your bath is made of matters

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 is the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
