Bath repair at your home in FY6

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Typical jobs include holes from dropped items and chips under the taps, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Prices in FY6

Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Near you in Poulton-le-Fylde

Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to The Poulton Elk pub, St Chad's Church and Moor Park. Nearby too are Poulton-le-Fylde Carr Head Primary School (within half a mile south) and Hodgson Academy (less than half a mile north-east). There’s a railway station in Poulton-le-Fylde itself: Poulton-Le-Fylde station. A little further out are Bispham Hospital (1.7 miles north-west) and Showtime (3.5 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Marton Mere.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

What affects the price in FY6

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

The type of damage
How easy the damage is to reach
What the surface is made of
Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

Something in shot to show the size
Your postcode, so we can check dates
Any details about the material
One sharp close-up of the damage

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
