Bath repair in Golden Triangle, done in place

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 next day. Typical jobs include chips under the taps and cracks in an acrylic bath, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Do you need bath repair in Golden Triangle?

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

10 questions to ask before you book

What affects the price in Golden Triangle

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Golden Triangle. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Pressed steel enamel

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Generally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why Golden Triangle clients choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
