Trusted bath repair in Eastwood

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

How we handle bath repair in Eastwood

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the following day. Whether it’s a kit repair that didn’t last and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can help, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Rusty chip next to a bath plughole, before and after repair

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What bath repair costs

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Eastwood. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  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 build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What we are called out for in Eastwood

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Chips on the rim or sides

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Eastwood

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Eastwood: your questions answered

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

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

How long does the repair take to cure?

Usually the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Will the repair show?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

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

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

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