About our bath repair in Walton

Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, generally in a single visit. Common call-outs are for impact holes in acrylic and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Questions from Walton

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you cover the whole of Derbyshire?

Across the UK, so Walton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do you come to Walton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Walton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Should you replace it?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. 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.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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, normally the day after.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Common problems we fix in Walton

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A cracked acrylic bath

Before you book anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
