How to compare quotes

Bath repair at your home in Bridge Street

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. Typical jobs include cracks in an acrylic bath and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow two to three hours for most chips.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

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

What affects the price in Bridge Street

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Getting a price is easy: 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.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Have new chips seen to early

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
