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

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Broxbourne

  • Acrylic

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EN10 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

When to call us in Broxbourne

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Look out for these signs:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Impact holes in acrylic

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

What affects the price in Broxbourne

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

FAQs for Broxbourne

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

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

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
