About our bath repair in Incline Top

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. If you’re dealing with a chipped rim or side and rusty patches near the plughole, we can typically put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Incline Top as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

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.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

What we are called out for in Incline Top

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

Before you book anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How changes to the job are handled

FAQs for Incline Top

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

How much does bath repair cost in Incline Top?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
