Our bath repair service in PA36

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small 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. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips on the rim or sides.

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.

What you will pay

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Why repair rather than replace?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Normally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement.

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work
  • When it can be used again

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in PA36 use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

Questions from PA36

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

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

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

How long before I can use the bath?

Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

How much does bath repair cost in PA36?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your PA36 postcode.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
