Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

Do you need bath repair in Box?

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • A chipped rim or side
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

How to compare quotes

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  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 day after.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Related advice

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Your questions about bath repair in Box

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Box. Prices do not change with location.

Do you come to Box?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Box for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
