Bath repair across CH7: what to expect

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Typical jobs include damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and holes from dropped items, across pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in CH7 as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Have new chips seen to early

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Common problems we fix in CH7

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Common reasons people in CH7 contact us are:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Snagging damage from a refit

Common questions in CH7

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Will the repair last?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
