Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Bath repair in Fosdyke Bridge, done in place

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about chips on the rim or sides and cracks in an acrylic bath.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Fosdyke Bridge questions

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you come to Fosdyke Bridge?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Fosdyke Bridge for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our prices page and bath cost comparison.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  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. 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

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

When to call us in Fosdyke Bridge

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Common reasons people in Fosdyke Bridge contact us are:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • A chip where the taps sit

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

What affects the price in Fosdyke Bridge

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Fosdyke Bridge. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
