Bath repair for Good Easter homes

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

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

Materials we repair

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

  • Cast iron enamel

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Good Easter questions

How much does bath repair cost in Good Easter?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  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, normally the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

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

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Good Easter. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

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

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Any details about the material

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

Signs you need bath repair in Good Easter

Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

People typically call us when they notice something like this:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A chipped rim or side
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Rinse it down after each bath

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
