DIY kit or professional repair?

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 frequently lifts.

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 usually the cheaper route.

Signs you need bath repair in Bluetown

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

Questions to ask before booking

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • When it can be used again
  • Aftercare advice

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How we price bath repair

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bluetown. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repairing versus replacing in Bluetown

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Common questions in Bluetown

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

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

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

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.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
