How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Bath repair at your home in Little Addington

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. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are chips under the taps and chips caused by builders.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

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.

Questions from Little Addington

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Little Addington and the rest of Northamptonshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Are there extra charges for Little Addington?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

How much does bath repair cost in Little Addington?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

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

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

Materials we repair

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

Do you need bath repair in Little Addington?

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Snagging damage from a refit

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

10 questions to ask before you book

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
