Our bath repair service in LS88

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Typical jobs include chips along the edge of the bath and a cracked acrylic bath, in pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead.

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What prep work is covered
  • What protection goes down before work starts

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around LS88, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

How the damage happens

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Holes from dropped items
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

LS88 questions

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Are there extra charges for LS88?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
