Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Composite and resin

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

About our bath repair in Campton

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. We work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and impact holes in acrylic.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, 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.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What we’re called out for in Campton

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Your questions about bath repair in Campton

When can I have a bath again?

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

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long

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

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
