Bath repair in Glasshouse

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

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, so it’s always worth repairing.

About our bath repair in Glasshouse

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a cracked acrylic bath and scuffs and scratches in the surface.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What affects the price in Glasshouse

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Glasshouse. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you’re in Glasshouse and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Glasshouse, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

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

Signs you need bath repair in Glasshouse

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Glasshouse: your questions answered

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
