About bath repair in Coventry

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about rust spots around the plughole and a chip where the taps sit.

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  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.

Cost

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Signs you need bath repair

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Repairing versus replacing

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it.

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure

Your questions about bath repair in Coventry

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will the repair last?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
