About our bath repair in Falconwood

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Typical jobs include chips caused by builders and damage beneath the taps, across roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Repair or replace in Falconwood?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Falconwood. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
