Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

About our bath repair in Daw's House

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Typical jobs include impact holes in acrylic and deep scratches in acrylic, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Do you need bath repair in Daw's House?

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Look out for these signs:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Choosing a repair company

Daw's House: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Daw's House?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
