DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

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

Repair or replace in Bury Road?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No extra charge for your area

  • One-year guarantee on every repair

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

FAQs for Bury Road

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

How long before I can use the bath?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Bury Road included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What we’re called out for in Bury Road

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
