Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Bath repair at your home in Booth Bank

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Whether it’s hairline or through cracks in acrylic and impact holes in acrylic, we can help.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Booth Bank: your questions answered

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Are you accredited?

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

When can I have a bath again?

Most baths can be used the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

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

Materials we work on in Booth Bank

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

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Landlord and trade work in Booth Bank

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Signs you need bath repair in Booth Bank

Rust generally 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.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Chips caused by builders

Before booking anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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 day after.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
