Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

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

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

When to call us in Avonbridge

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the colour is matched
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Questions from Avonbridge

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Normally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

Is a bath repair permanent?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What affects the price in Avonbridge

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Avonbridge. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
