Bath repair in Botany Bay

Bath repair in Botany Bay without replacing anything

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and rust spots around the plughole, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A steel bath rusted through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel

What affects the price in Botany Bay

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Botany Bay. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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 without visiting.

Common questions in Botany Bay

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

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

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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 mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs

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 the part we put right.

Composite and resin

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

Common problems we fix in Botany Bay

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Damage beneath the taps

Before you book anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
