Bath repair in Bath and North East Somerset

How bath repair works in Bath and North East Somerset

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, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools and cracks and holes in acrylic baths.

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, usually near the taps or the waste.

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

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 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.
