Bath repair in Shatton

Bath repair at your home in Shatton

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are rust spots around the plughole and cracks in an acrylic bath.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Shatton

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

Common problems we fix in Shatton

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Rust spots around the plughole

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in Shatton?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Questions from Shatton

Are there extra charges for Shatton?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Derbyshire.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Derbyshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Shatton?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures 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. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shatton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
