Bath repair across S97: what to expect

Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. Common call-outs are for rust spots around the plughole and snagging damage from a refit, in pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos 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. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Cost

Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Near you in Manvers

Around Manvers, we work in homes near Church of All Saints, Our Lady and St Joseph's Catholic Primary School and Wath Academy and the streets around them. Also close by are Wath Academy (less than half a mile south) and Saracens Head pub (within half a mile west). For rail, the closest station is Bolton-On-Dearne station, roughly 1.6 miles north-east. Well-known places in the area include Conisbrough Castle (4.9 miles east) and Montagu Hospital (2.3 miles east). Not far away are Denaby Ings.

  • Parks and local facilities nearby include Dearne Urban District (2.7 miles north-east)

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Landlords, agents and businesses in S97

For anyone letting property in or around S97, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Should you replace it?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price.

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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

Signs you need bath repair

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

S97 questions

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

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

Will the repair show?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

How do I get a price for bath repair in S97?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your S97 postcode.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
