  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No extra charge for your area

About our bath repair in Walton

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are rust by the waste and overflow and a hole punched through by something heavy.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Walton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Walton. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

What we are called out for in Walton

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.

Look out for these signs:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Damage beneath the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

FAQs for Walton

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

How much does bath repair cost in Walton?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
