Trusted bath repair in Dovecot

Bath repair in Dovecot without replacing anything

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about scratches and burns and damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

When to call us in Dovecot

Most bath damage starts with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust once water gets in. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, usually near the taps or the waste.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
  • Rust spots where the enamel has gone
  • Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Scratches and burns

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What preparation is included
  • Aftercare advice

Questions from Dovecot

Do you cover Dovecot?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Dovecot. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

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

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your L14 postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and clean up before we leave.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses in Dovecot?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Dovecot and across Liverpool.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
