Bath repair in Swettenham Heath

How we handle bath repair in Swettenham Heath

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Typical jobs include snagging damage from a refit and impact holes in acrylic, across acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Swettenham Heath and across Cheshire East.

Common problems we fix in Swettenham Heath

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

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 is the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Your questions about bath repair in Swettenham Heath

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you cover the whole of Cheshire East?

All of Cheshire East, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will the repair last?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What affects the price in Swettenham Heath

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Swettenham Heath. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Repairing versus replacing in Swettenham Heath

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
