Bath repair at your home in Templeborough

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We’re frequently asked to fix damage beneath the taps and scuffs and scratches in the surface, in pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Do you need bath repair in Templeborough?

Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A chip where the taps sit

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How your room will be protected
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Rinse it down after each bath

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

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Why repair rather than replace?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Templeborough: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Do you cover Templeborough?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Templeborough and the rest of Sheffield. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

What affects the price in Templeborough

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

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
