About our bath repair in Duddington

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for scuffs and scratches in the surface and rust spots around the plughole, across acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • A cracked acrylic bath

Choosing a repair company

Questions from Duddington

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

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

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will the repair last?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Do you cover Duddington?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Duddington. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Duddington as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

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

Materials we work on in Duddington

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

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
