How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Have new chips seen to early

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Bath repair in Great Edstone without replacing anything

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are damage beneath the taps and a hole punched through by something heavy.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Should you replace it?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

What we are called out for in Great Edstone

Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

People usually call us after spotting one of these:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Before you book anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
