Bath repair near Four Crosses

What affects the price in Four Crosses

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire bath

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

About our bath repair in Four Crosses

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. Whether it’s a chip where the taps sit and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can usually put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No need to remove anything
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Have new chips seen to early

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.

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

  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • A chip where the taps sit

10 questions to ask before booking

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Four Crosses questions

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

Will the repair show?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

What do you need from me?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

For anyone letting property in or around Four Crosses, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
