Bath repair across CF23: what to expect

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about rust spots around the plughole and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.

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 two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Common problems we fix in CF23

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

What affects the price in CF23

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to CF23. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Typically it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement.

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How to look after the finish

Common questions in CF23

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in CF23.
