Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are cracks in an acrylic bath and chips on the rim or sides.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the area is dry

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 typically cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Questions from Forncett St Peter

Is a bath repair durable?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you cover Forncett St Peter?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Forncett St Peter from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
