Bath repair across CA27: what to expect

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the day after. Common call-outs are for chips under the taps and chips along the edge of the bath, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  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. Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Cost

Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Near you in St Bees

Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to St Bees Priory and St Bees Village Primary School. St Bees has its own railway station: St Bees station. Further afield, we also cover the area around Caernarvon Castle (4.3 miles south-east) and The Rum Story (3.9 miles north). Not far away are St Bees Head RSPB reserve.

Repairing versus replacing

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement.

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How to look after the finish

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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 early repairs matter.

Composite and resin

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

Questions from CA27

Do you come to CA27?

We do. We send a technician to CA27 for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Is a bath repair durable?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
