Bath repair in Alburgh Street without replacing anything

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

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, depending on the damage. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

Common questions in Alburgh Street

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Alburgh Street.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Should you replace it?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
