Bath repair at your home in Frindsbury

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are damage beneath the taps and deep scratches in acrylic.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What your bath is made of matters

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

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How we price bath repair

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

Unusual colours or finishes
How much damage there is
How many items we do on one visit
What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

A wider photo showing the entire bath
What it’s made of, if you know
Natural light rather than flash
A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

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

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

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

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
