Questions from Crossroads

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a bath repair durable?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Bath repair in Crossroads, done in place

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and scratches in the surface and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

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

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Acrylic

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

Should you replace it?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our full price list or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  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. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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 usually the cheaper route.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

When to call us in Crossroads

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the room is protected while they work
