How we handle bath repair in Tirabad

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for chips on the rim or sides and cracks in an acrylic bath, across acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

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

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

What we’re called out for in Tirabad

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Chips caused by builders
  • A cracked acrylic bath

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common questions in Tirabad

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you work in Tirabad?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Tirabad

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
