Bath repair near Elworth

About our bath repair in Elworth

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We are frequently asked to fix impact holes in acrylic and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, in cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  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. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Elworth questions

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Do you come to Elworth?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Elworth. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is a bath repair durable?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

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

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What we are called out for in Elworth

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Look out for these signs:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
