What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Apsey Green questions

How long does the repair take to cure?

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

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Do you charge for travel?

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

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do you cover Apsey Green?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Apsey Green from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

How we price bath repair

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IP13 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Repair or replace in Apsey Green?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Same prices wherever you are

Common problems we fix in Apsey Green

Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A chipped rim or side
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Apsey Green

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
