DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, 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 many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found 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 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. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Belford use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Don’t 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. Remove it before the repair.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Questions from Belford

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can landlords book you?

Which areas do you work in?

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Is a bath repair durable?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
