Bath repair near Christmas Pie

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  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. Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

Bath repair at your home in Christmas Pie

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 day after. If you’re dealing with chips caused by builders and impact holes in acrylic, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • The material

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Christmas Pie, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we’re called out for in Christmas Pie

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Chips under the taps
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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 photos.

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

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

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.
