Trusted bath repair in Sunnyside

Sunnyside: your questions answered

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Do you cover the whole of Rotherham?

Everywhere in the UK, Sunnyside included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Bath repair in Sunnyside, done in place

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a hole punched through by something heavy.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

What we’re called out for in Sunnyside

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Chips under the taps
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How to look after the finish
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage

Get a quote

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Sunnyside

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Sunnyside. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.
