When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

About our bath repair in Acomb Park

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Common call-outs are for damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and chips along the edge of the bath, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. 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 mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What affects the price in Acomb Park

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in Acomb Park, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlord and trade work in Acomb Park

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Signs you need bath repair in Acomb Park

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Impact holes in acrylic

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Why repair rather than replace?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Typically it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Acomb Park. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One price list for the entire UK

Acomb Park questions

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Usually within a day, though it depends on what we have done.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
