Surface repairs across CA25

Our bath repair service in CA25

We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and rust by the waste and overflow.

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.

What you’ll pay

Our bath repair starts from £95. The price 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 photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Local landmarks in Cleator Moor

Typical jobs here are in homes near Church of St John Evangelist, Montreal CofE Primary School and The Whitehaven Academy and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Corkickle station, roughly 3 miles north-west. Well-known places in the area include West Cumberland Hospital (2 miles west) and Caernarvon Castle (4.8 miles south). Open spaces near Cleator Moor include Clints Quarry.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Landlords, agents and businesses in CA25

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in CA25 as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

What affects the price in CA25

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for CA25. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

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 bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

What we are called out for in CA25

A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A chip where the taps sit

Questions from CA25

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

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

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
