Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Do you need bath repair in Eddington?

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Landlord and trade work in Eddington

If you manage property in Eddington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

FAQs for Eddington

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

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

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Do you repair coloured baths?

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

What bath repair costs

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repair or replace in Eddington?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We leave the room as we found it

Take a look at our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price
