Bath repair in Tatton Dale

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Bath repair in Tatton Dale without replacing anything

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We’re often asked to fix a kit repair that didn’t last and damage beneath the taps, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • 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 picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Your questions about bath repair in Tatton Dale

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Are there extra charges for Tatton Dale?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will I be able to see the repair?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

When to call us in Tatton Dale

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What aftercare is recommended

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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