When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

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

Bath repair in Diglis, done in place

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and deep scratches in acrylic.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Diglis. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

If you’re in Diglis and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How to care for the repair

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

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

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

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

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

Questions from Diglis

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Will the repair show?

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 you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you cover Diglis?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Diglis. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Should you replace it?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour-matched on site
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Signs you need bath repair in Diglis

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Common reasons people in Diglis contact us include:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
