Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

How we handle bath repair in Chilton Green

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the rim or sides and rust spots around the plughole.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Chilton Green: your questions answered

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

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

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Signs you need bath repair in Chilton Green

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Rust spots around the plughole

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

Get a quote

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PO30 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

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

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
