About our bath repair in Exley

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are snagging damage from a refit and a chipped rim or side.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

Exley questions

Are there extra charges for Exley?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How long before I can use the bath?

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

Will the repair last?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Exley. Prices don’t change with location.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common problems we fix in Exley

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Chips under the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Exley

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Exley clients choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Exley use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in Exley, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
