Bath repair in Felden, done in place

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about rust by the waste and overflow and a cracked acrylic bath.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Rusty chip next to a bath plughole, before and after repair

Do you need bath repair in Felden?

A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Rust spots around the plughole

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • What prep work is covered
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Felden. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

There’s 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 come back to you with a fixed figure.

Felden: your questions answered

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How long before I can use the bath?

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

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Will the repair show?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

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

Materials we work on in Felden

  • Whirlpool & spa baths

  • Acrylic

  • Pressed steel enamel

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, a professional repair is worth it.

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Felden, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
