Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Bath repair in Corley Ash without replacing anything

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. If you are dealing with chips along the edge of the bath and a chip where the taps sit, we can generally put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When to call us in Corley Ash

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 enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

Common reasons people in Corley Ash contact us are:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • A chipped rim or side

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CV7 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
