When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What we’re called out for in Fleming Field

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

Before you book anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How the colour is matched
  • If travel is included in the price

FAQs for Fleming Field

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

How soon can you come?

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

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

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