A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • A chipped rim or side

About our bath repair in Crosshill

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you’re dealing with snagging damage from a refit and damage beneath the taps, we can help, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Rinse it down after each bath

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

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.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Crosshill. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your KA19 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Crosshill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Can I add another job to the visit?
