Bath Repair near Middleton

When to call us in Middleton

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled 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, often around the taps or the plughole.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

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

Bath repair in Middleton without replacing anything

Most baths can be used again the next day. 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. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted and cracks and holes in acrylic baths.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Middleton as everywhere else we work. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Advice

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different 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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Why repair rather than replace?
