Bath repair in Thurstonland

Bath repair in Thurstonland without replacing anything

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are a cracked acrylic bath and deep scratches in acrylic.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Thurstonland: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How long before I can use the bath?

Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What areas do you cover?

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

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Thurstonland

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

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Have new chips seen to early

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Thurstonland

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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.

Do you need bath repair in Thurstonland?

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How your room will be protected
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
