Bath repair in Aymestrey

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

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

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Aymestrey, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Bath repair in Aymestrey, done in place

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the rim or sides and chips under the taps.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Should you replace it?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Questions from Aymestrey

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

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

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your HR6 postcode.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Usually. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

What we are called out for in Aymestrey

Rust normally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Holes from dropped items

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the colour is matched
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  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. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
