Our bath repair service in LL22

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. Common call-outs are for holes from dropped items and chips on the rim or sides, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

What it costs in LL22

Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Common problems we fix in LL22

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Common reasons people in LL22 contact us are:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Repair or replace?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement.

Questions to ask before booking

  • How your room will be protected
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long it needs to cure

LL22: your questions answered

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you work in LL22?

We do. Repair technicians travel to LL22 from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
