When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A steel bath rusted through

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Landlords, agents and businesses in Abenhall

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Abenhall as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Questions from Abenhall

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Will the repair last?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Normally, 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 picture.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Abenhall. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
