Bath repair for Walton homes

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Surfaces we repair

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

Bath repair in Walton, done in place

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. If you’re dealing with damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and rust by the waste and overflow, we can help.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Your questions about bath repair in Walton

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Do you need bath repair in Walton?

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
