What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Ermine East

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

Signs you need bath repair in Ermine East

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

FAQs for Ermine East

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. 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.
