Bath repair in The Moor, done in place

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can generally bathe again the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a kit repair that didn’t last and a hole punched through by something heavy.

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

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Have new chips seen to early

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 under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. 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.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in The Moor use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

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

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

When to call us in The Moor

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chips under the taps
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Before booking anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

Most clients in The Moor get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
