Bath repair in Boultham

Bath repair in Boultham without replacing anything

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about deep scratches in acrylic and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Boultham: your questions answered

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

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.

Do you work in Boultham?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Boultham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

When can I have a bath again?

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

Do I have to be there?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Boultham. The price depends on:

Unusual colours or finishes
Access to the area
Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Boultham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

Your postcode, so we can check dates
Any details about the material
A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Related advice

Is my bath acrylic, steel or cast iron?

Do you need bath repair in Boultham?

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
Deep scratches in acrylic
Snagging damage from a refit
Chips along the edge of the bath

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Store metal items away from the bath
Do not leave a fresh chip for long

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
