Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice

Should you replace it?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Brough, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we’re called out for in Brough

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

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

  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Chips under the taps

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What aftercare is recommended
