Bath repair at your home in Aperfield

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. If you are dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can generally put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Aperfield. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Aperfield questions

Is a bath repair durable?

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

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

What we’re called out for in Aperfield

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A cracked acrylic bath

Before booking anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

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.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice

Repair or replace in Aperfield?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Aperfield customers choose us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Read our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What we cannot put right

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

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
