Getting a price from pictures

- The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
How we handle bath repair in Walton
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the next day. We are frequently asked to fix a hole punched through by something heavy and scuffs and scratches in the surface, in acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Walton as everywhere else we work.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse it down after each 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. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Common problems we fix in Walton
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps

Walton: your questions answered
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Walton.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Is repairing better 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.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
