Bath repair in Bath without replacing anything

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We’re frequently asked to fix a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Bath: your questions answered

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Bath and the rest of Bath and North East Somerset. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Usually within a day, depending on the repair.

Do you cover Bath?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Bath. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Common problems we fix in Bath

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What preparation is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How we price bath repair

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

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
