Bath repair in Filmore Hill

About our bath repair in Filmore Hill

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. If you’re dealing with hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Acrylic

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

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Common questions in Filmore Hill

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

How much does bath repair cost in Filmore Hill?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Will there be a smell?

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

How invisible is a bath repair?

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Do you need bath repair in Filmore Hill?

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Chips under the taps
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What prep work is covered

What affects the price in Filmore Hill

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
