Rusty chip next to a bath plughole, before and after repair

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

When to call us in Johnstown

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Chips on the rim or sides

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

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.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

FAQs for Johnstown

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally within a day, depending on the repair.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

What does bath repair cost?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How invisible is a bath repair?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Wrexham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Johnstown. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

If you’re in Johnstown and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
