Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

How we handle bath repair in Bishopsgate

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Whether it’s holes from dropped items and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

FAQs for Bishopsgate

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Do I have to be there?

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

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

Repairing versus replacing in Bishopsgate

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Bishopsgate. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
