When to call us in Siddal

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Chips on the rim or sides

What affects the price in Siddal

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Siddal. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

Most customers in Siddal get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Siddal: your questions answered

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Siddal is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Are there extra charges for Siddal?

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

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Siddal. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour-matched on site

See our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
