Repair or replace in Egerton?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Take a look at our prices page and bath cost comparison.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Rinse it down after each bath

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TN27 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Egerton questions

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Will the repair last?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.

Common problems we fix in Egerton

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Chips on the rim or sides

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Aftercare advice
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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