Bath repair at your home in DN1

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. Typical jobs include a chip where the taps sit and holes from dropped items, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Pricing in DN1

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Around Intake

Typical jobs here are in homes near Danum Gallery, Atlas Academy and Town Fields. Other local landmarks include Hall Cross Academy (0.6 miles north-east), Church of St James (under half a mile north-west), Hospital Teaching Service (1.4 miles north-east) and The Old George pub (0.5 miles north). Intake’s nearest station is Doncaster station, about 0.5 miles north-west of the centre. A little further out are Tickhill Road Hospital (1.4 miles south-west) and Kings Own Yorkshire Light Infantry Museum (within half a mile north). For a walk, there’s Highfields Lake and Potteric Carr Nature Reserve.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

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.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in DN1, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Should you replace it?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to DN1. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DN1 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Questions from DN1

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, DN1 included. Travel is included in the price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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