Trusted bath repair in Cumeragh Village

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you’re in Cumeragh Village and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  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. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Have new chips seen to early

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What we are called out for in Cumeragh Village

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chips under the taps
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Impact holes in acrylic

Our hiring checklist

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding

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.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Repair or replace in Cumeragh Village?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cumeragh Village. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
