Bath repair for Thurgoland homes

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Most clients in Thurgoland get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Bath repair in Thurgoland, done in place

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can normally use the bath the following day. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about hairline or through cracks in acrylic and rust spots around the plughole.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Sheffield.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire bath

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

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 is the part we put right.

What it costs 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 price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Common problems we fix in Thurgoland

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until it cracks.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

Comparing quotes

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

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.

Landlord and trade work in Thurgoland

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Thurgoland, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
