About our bath repair in Stretton

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are a chip where the taps sit and rust spots around the plughole.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Warrington.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stretton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Signs you need bath repair in Stretton

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What affects the price in Stretton

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Repairing versus replacing in Stretton

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Typically it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

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 the part we put right.
