Bath repair for Sutton Weaver homes

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

Bath repair in Sutton Weaver without replacing anything

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and deep scratches in acrylic, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Halton.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What we’re called out for in Sutton Weaver

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Our hiring checklist

Sutton Weaver: your questions answered

Do you come to Sutton Weaver?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Sutton Weaver. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Sutton Weaver

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
