Surface repairs across SK13

Bath repair at your home in SK13

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are holes from dropped items and rust spots around the plughole.

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.

What we are called out for in SK13

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Chips under the taps
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A chipped rim or side

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

What affects the price in SK13

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to SK13. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for SK13. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
