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 generally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

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

Materials we repair

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

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, 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.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Related advice

Do you need bath repair in Cocks Green?

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Will it make a mess?

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Is a bath repair permanent?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
