Bath repair near Friday Hill

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t 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, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

About our bath repair in Friday Hill

We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. Each is repaired in place with a one-year guarantee. Whether it’s damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and rust spots around the plughole, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Should you replace it?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Your questions about bath repair in Friday Hill

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

How invisible is a bath repair?

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.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your E4 postcode.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price
