About our bath repair in Sessay

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can normally bathe again the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a cracked acrylic bath.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Repair or replace in Sessay?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A fixed quote before you book

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Can I fix it myself?

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

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most customers in Sessay get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlord and trade work in Sessay

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Your questions about bath repair in Sessay

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, 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, normally the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the area is dry
