How we handle bath repair in Tollerton

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, typically in a single visit. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and holes from dropped items.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

FAQs for Tollerton

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

What affects the price in Tollerton

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  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. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tollerton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No extra charge for your area

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Common problems we fix in Tollerton

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

People typically call us when they notice something like this:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Snagging damage from a refit

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How your room will be protected
