Before and after: a damaged acrylic bath corner repaired in place

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What affects the price in Foxton

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Foxton. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Your questions about bath repair in Foxton

Will it make a mess?

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

How much does bath repair cost in Foxton?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you come to Foxton?

We do. We send a technician to Foxton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Is a bath repair permanent?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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.

What we are called out for in Foxton

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Chips under the taps
  • Chips on the rim or sides

Questions to ask before you book

  • How to care for the finish
  • How the colour is matched
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before you book

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

If you manage property in Foxton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Repair or replace in Foxton?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.
