Bath repair at your home in Armitage

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  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. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. 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. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Common problems we fix in Armitage

A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Holes from dropped items
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Snagging damage from a refit

Questions to ask before booking

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour-matched on site
  • A fixed quote before booking
