Bath repair for Tickton homes

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Tickton customers choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

  • Colour-matched on site

How we handle bath repair in Tickton

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can generally use the bath the following day. Whether it’s scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips along the edge of the bath, we can help.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour 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’s the part we put right.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Tickton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  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. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Your questions about bath repair in Tickton

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your HU17 postcode.

Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
