Bath Repair for Alciston homes

- Repairs from £95
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Bath repair in Alciston, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We are often asked to fix a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips under the taps, across roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Alciston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
